- 3/6 - 5/7
We have to get both fractions to have the same denominator, so we multiply fraction 1 by 7/7 and fraction 2 by 6/6
So now, we have -21/42 - 30/42
Since we have the same denominator (the bottom number), all we have to do is look at the numerators, (top numbers) and add them.
So, we do -21 - 30, which equals -51.
So, our answer is -51 / 42
It is an improper fraction, so we turn it into a mixed number.
So, our new answer is -1 9/42
However, that can be simplified.
Now, it is -1 3/14
It is pronounced as "negative one and three fourteenths."
