9 / 4 + -3/8

To solve this expression, we first multiply the denominators to find a common denominator, which is 8.

9/4 can be written as (9/4)(2/2) = 18/8.

Now we can rewrite the expression as:

(18/8) + (-3/8)

To add these fractions, we add the numerators and keep the common denominator:

(18 + (-3))/8 = 15/8

Therefore, 9/4 + -3/8 = 15/8.

Can it be simplified anymore

Yes, the fraction 15/8 can be simplified further.

To simplify the fraction, we can divide both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 1 in this case.

So, 15/8 is already in its simplified form.
