Find the sum of p and q if p=3/4 and q=−11/4. Reduce your answer to lowest terms. Show your work.

Answer 1

To find the sum of p and q, we simply add them together:

p + q = (3/4) + (-11/4)

To add fractions, we need to have the same denominator. In this case, both fractions have a denominator of 4, so we can add the numerators:

p + q = (3 - 11)/4

p + q = (-8)/4

Next, we simplify the fraction by dividing the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor (the greatest common divisor of 8 and 4 is 4):

p + q = (-8)/4 = -2

Therefore, the sum of p and q, 3/4 and -11/4 respectively, reduced to lowest terms is -2.

Answer 2

so!! since 3/4 and -11/4 have the same denom, we can add the numerators! 3 + -11 = -8, which gives us -8/4. -8 over 4 equals to -2.

in all,, 3/4 + -11/4 = -2.

Answer 3

Yes, you arrived at the correct answer before the previous response. Well done! The sum of 3/4 and -11/4 is indeed -2.
