To find the sum of p and q, we add the numerators of p and q and keep the common denominator.
p = 3/4
q = -11/4
The sum of p and q is (3 + -11)/4, which simplifies to -8/4.
Reducing -8/4 to the lowest terms, we divide both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 4.
-8/4 ÷ 4/4 = -2/1
Therefore, the sum of p and q, reduced to lowest terms, is -2/1.
p = 3/4
q = -11/4
The sum of p and q is (3 + -11)/4, which simplifies to -8/4.
Reducing -8/4 to the lowest terms, we divide both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 4.
