Add -1 3/10+(-4 2/15)
To add -1 3/10 and -4 2/15, we first need to convert both mixed numbers into improper fractions.
-1 3/10 can be written as -13/10.
-4 2/15 can be written as -62/15.
Now we can add the fractions.
-13/10 + (-62/15)
To add fractions, we need a common denominator. The least common multiple of 10 and 15 is 30.
So, we can rewrite the fractions with the new denominator:
-13/10 = -39/30
-62/15 = -124/30
Now we can add the fractions:
-39/30 + (-124/30) = -163/30
Therefore, -1 3/10 + (-4 2/15) = -163/30.
To add -1 3/10 and -4 2/15, follow these steps:
Step 1: Convert the mixed numbers to improper fractions:
-1 3/10 = -1 + 3/10 = -10/10 + 3/10 = -13/10
-4 2/15 = -4 + 2/15 = -60/15 + 2/15 = -58/15
Step 2: Determine a common denominator for the fractions, which is 15 in this case.
Step 3: Add the fractions together:
(-13/10) + (-58/15) = (-13/10) * (3/3) + (-58/15) * (10/10)
= (-39/30) + (-580/150)
= (-39/30) + (-232/30)
= -39/30 + (-232/30)
= -271/30
Step 4: Simplify the fraction, if possible:
-271/30 cannot be simplified any further.
Therefore, the sum of -1 3/10 and -4 2/15 is -271/30.
