Question

(fractions)
Add −8/15+4/15

Answer 1

wrong

Answer 2

To add the fractions \(-\frac{8}{15}\) and \(\frac{4}{15}\), you can combine them since they have a common denominator:

\[
-\frac{8}{15} + \frac{4}{15} = \frac{-8 + 4}{15} = \frac{-4}{15}
\]

So, the result is

\[
-\frac{4}{15}
\]

Answer 3

Let's go through the addition step by step again:

You want to add \( -\frac{8}{15} \) and \( \frac{4}{15} \).

Since both fractions have the same denominator (15), you can combine the numerators directly:

\[
-\frac{8}{15} + \frac{4}{15} = \frac{-8 + 4}{15}
\]

Now, simplify the numerator:

\[
-8 + 4 = -4
\]

So, it becomes:

\[
\frac{-4}{15}
\]

The final answer is indeed:

\[
-\frac{4}{15}
\]
