Use the additive inverse to find -244/5-07/10
To find the additive inverse of a fraction, we simply change the sign of the fraction.
The additive inverse of -244/5 is 244/5 (changing the sign from negative to positive).
The additive inverse of -07/10 is 07/10 (again, changing the sign from negative to positive).
Therefore, the problem -244/5 - 07/10 becomes 244/5 + 07/10.
To find the additive inverse of a fraction, we flip the sign of the fraction.
First, let's find the additive inverse of -244/5. We flip the sign of the fraction to get 244/5.
Next, let's find the additive inverse of -7/10. We flip the sign of the fraction to get 7/10.
Now, we can find the sum of 244/5 and 7/10 as follows:
244/5 + 7/10
To add these fractions, we need a common denominator. The least common multiple of 5 and 10 is 10. So let's rewrite the fractions with a common denominator of 10:
(244/5) * (2/2) = 488/10
(7/10) * (1/1) = 7/10
Now we can add the fractions:
488/10 + 7/10 = (488 + 7)/10 = 495/10
Therefore, the sum of -244/5 and -7/10 is 495/10.
