Add. -3/5 + (8/35).
A. 13/35
B. -13/35
c. 1/8
d. - 1/8
-3/5 + (8/35)
-0.6 + 0.2286 = -0.3714 = -1/8
To add -3/5 and 8/3.5, you need to find a common denominator between the two fractions. The common denominator for 5 and 3.5 is 10.
Now let's convert the fractions to have the common denominator of 10:
-3/5 = (-3/5) x (2/2) = -6/10
8/3.5 = (8/3.5) x (2/2) = 16/7
Now that we have both fractions with a common denominator of 10, we can add them:
-6/10 + 16/7 = (-6 x 7)/(10 x 7) + (16 x 10)/(7 x 10) = -42/70 + 160/70 = 118/70
Simplifying the fraction, we get:
118/70 = (2 x 59)/(2 x 35) = 59/35
Therefore, the answer is 59/35.
