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, we simply add the numerators and keep the same denominator:

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

To add fractions with the same denominator, we add the numerators and keep the same denominator:

= (3 - 11)/4

Simplifying the numerator:

= -8/4

Since -8 is a multiple of 4, we can simplify the fraction:

= -2/1

Therefore, the sum of p and q, reduced to lowest terms, is -2/1.
