Question

-2/8 + 3/4

Answer 1

To add or subtract fractions, we need a common denominator. In this case, the lowest common denominator is 8.

Rewriting the fractions to have the common denominator:

-2/8 + 3/4 = (-2)/(8) + 3(2)/(4(2)) = (-2)/(8) + 6/8

Now we can add the fractions:

(-2)/(8) + 6/8 = (-2 + 6)/8 = 4/8

Since both 4 and 8 can be divided by 4, we simplify the fraction:

4/8 = 1/2

Therefore, the simplified answer is 1/2.
