Find the sum of p and q if p=3/4 and q=−11/4. Reduce your answer to lowest terms.(1 point)

Answer 1

To find the sum of $p$ and $q$, where $p=\frac{3}{4}$ and $q=-\frac{11}{4}$, we can add these two fractions together:

$$p+q=\frac{3}{4}+(-\frac{11}{4})$$

Since both fractions have the same denominator, we can combine them directly:

$$p+q=\frac{3-11}{4}=\frac{-8}{4}$$

Now, we simplify $\frac{-8}{4}$:

$$\frac{-8}{4}=-2$$

Thus, the sum of $p$ and $q$ is $-2$.

The answer is $-2$.
