What is -3/4 + 3/8? Thanks.

Answer 1

Explanation:

-3/4+3/8=

-6+3/8=

-3/8

Answer 2

`- (3)/(8)`

Explanation:

First, we change both denominators to the LCM (lowest common multiple) which is 8.

`- (3)/(4) + (3)/(8) = - (6)/(8) + (3)/(8)`

Since the denominators are the same, we can add the numerators.

`( - 6 + 3)/(8)`

`( - 3)/(8)`

or it can be written as

`- (3)/(8)`
