What is -6 over 45 + -9 over 45. And reduced. I know the denominator is 45.
-15 over 45 = -1/3
Thank you Ms. Sue. I had it right the first time! :D
You're welcome, Jamal. :-)
To find the sum of -6/45 and -9/45, you need to add the numerators while keeping the denominator the same:
-6/45 + (-9/45) = (-6 - 9) / 45
The numerator becomes -15 and the denominator remains 45. Therefore, the sum is:
-15/45
To reduce this fraction, you need to find the greatest common divisor (GCD) of the numerator and the denominator, and then divide both the numerator and the denominator by the GCD.
The GCD of 15 and 45 is 15, so we can divide both the numerator and the denominator by 15:
(-15/45) รท 15/15 = -1/3
Therefore, the reduced fraction is -1/3.
