Question

What is the difference? 3/11 -(-6/11) Express your answer in lowest terms.

Answer 1

3/11 - (-6/11) in the lowest term would be 9/11 because you change the sign to adding so 3/11 plus 6/11 (The negative turns into a positive) so then 6+3 equals 9 when you add you keep the denominators the same therefore the answer is 9/11. Hope this helps :)

Answer 2

`\sf(3)/(11)-(-(6)/(11))`

Two negatives equals a positive:


`\sf(3)/(11)+(6)/(11)`

Add the numerators and keep the denominator:


`\sf(9)/(11)`
