Find the sum of P & Q if p equals 3/4 and Q equals -11/4 reduced your answer to the lowest term
To find the sum of P and Q, we simply add the two values together.
P = 3/4
Q = -11/4
Sum = P + Q
Sum = 3/4 + (-11/4)
To add fractions, we need the denominators to be equal. In this case, both fractions already have the same denominator of 4.
Sum = (3 - 11)/4
Sum = -8/4
The fraction -8/4 can be simplified by dividing both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 4.
-8 ÷ 4 = -2
4 ÷ 4 = 1
Therefore, the sum of P and Q, reduced to the lowest term, is -2/1 or simply -2.
To find the sum of P and Q, we need to add P and Q together.
P = 3/4
Q = -11/4
To add fractions, we need to make sure they have the same denominator. In this case, the denominators are already the same (4). So, we can add the numerators directly:
P + Q = (3/4) + (-11/4)
To add the numerators, we keep the denominator the same:
P + Q = (3 - 11)/4
Simplifying the numerator:
P + Q = (-8)/4
Finally, simplifying the fraction further:
P + Q = -2
So, the sum of P and Q is -2.
