Question

Can someone please help me with this math problem

Answer 1

3/4 or 0.75

Explanation:

Is it -45/40 + 1.875?

so -45/40 = -9/8 = -1.125

- 1.125 + 1.875 = 0.75 or 75/100 or 3/4

Another way to solve it

1.875 can be simplified by 1875/1000

bot numerator and denominator are divided by 25 so 1875/1000 = 75/40

so -45/40 + 75/40 = (75 - 45)/40 = 30/40 = 3/4
