Question

Negitive 7 over 18 minus negitive 9 over 4 equals?​

Answer 1

1 31/36 is your answer

Explanation:

Find common denominators. Note that what you do to the denominator, you must do to the numerator;

(-7/18)(2/2) = (-14/36)

(-9/4)(9/9) = (-81/36)

Combine the terms:

(-14/36) - (-81/36)

Note that two negative signs directly next to each other equals a positive sign.

(-14/36) + 81/36

-14/36 + 81/36

(-14 + 81)/36

Combine like terms. Solve the parenthesis:

(67)/36

Change to a mixed fraction:

(67/36) = 1 31/36

1 31/36 is your answer.
