Answer:
-23/5
Step-by-step explanation:
-3/5 + - 8/2
Find the least common multiple of 5 and 2.
That would be 10.
That means we have to multiply the first fraction by 2/2 and the second one by 5/5
-3/5*2/2
Multiply the numerators together and the denominators together.
-6/10
Repeat with the second fraction.
-8/2*5/5
-40/10
Our new expression is
-6/10+-40/10
-46/10
Simplify
-23/5
As a mixed number that would be:
-4 3/5
