What is neg. 9/10 + neg. 1/6? Pleaseee help im stuck:/

-9/10 = -27/30

-1/6 = -5/30

(-27/30) + (-5/30) = -32/30 = -1 1/15

Don't let the negatives throw you!

You need a common denominator. What's a common denominator of 6 and 10? 60.

9/10 = what/60 ?

1/6 = what/60?

Now that you have them both in sixtieths, just add to get your answer.

But since they were both negative, your answer will also be negative. Does that give you enough?

To add negative fractions, you need to find a common denominator and then add the fractions together.

First, let's find the common denominator. The denominator of 10 is already in its simplest form, so we'll use it. To turn the denominator of 6 into 10, we need to multiply both the numerator and denominator of the fraction by 5.

Now, let's rewrite the fractions with the common denominator of 10.

neg. 9/10 + neg. 1/6

= neg. 9/10 + neg. (1 * 5)/(6 * 5)

= neg. 9/10 + neg. 5/30

= neg. 9/10 + neg. 1/6

Now that the fractions have a common denominator of 10, we can add them together.

neg. 9/10 + neg. 1/6 = (neg. 9 + neg. 1)/10

= neg. 10/10

Since the numerator and the denominator are the same, the fraction simplifies to -1.

Therefore, neg. 9/10 + neg. 1/6 equals -1.
