To simplify the expression -3/2 - 3/8, we need to find a common denominator:
- The denominator of -3/2 is 2
- The denominator of -3/8 is 8
To find a common denominator, we can multiply the numerator and denominator of -3/2 by 4, and the numerator and denominator of -3/8 by 1:
- (-3/2) x (4/4) = -12/8
- (-3/8) x (1/1) = -3/8
Now we can combine the fractions by subtracting the numerators:
- (-12/8) - (-3/8) = -9/8
So the expression -3/2 - 3/8, when simplified to its simplest form, is -9/8.
