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

1 answer

To find the sum of p and q, we need to add the fractions together.

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

When adding or subtracting fractions with the same denominator, we can simply add or subtract the numerators and keep the denominator the same.

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

To simplify the numerator, we can think of adding a negative number as subtracting a positive number.

p + q = (3 - 11)/4

Now we can subtract the numerator.

p + q = -8/4

Since -8 is divisible by 4, we can simplify the fraction.

p + q = -2/1

Therefore, the sum of p and q is -2.
