Question
Evaluate: $\frac{5}{-24}+\frac{-1}{8}+\frac{3}{16}$
✓
Answer
$\begin{aligned} & \frac{5}{-24}+\frac{-1}{8}+\frac{3}{16} \\ & =\frac{-5 \times 2}{24 \times 2}+\frac{-1 \times 6}{8 \times 6}+\frac{3 \times 3}{16 \times 3} \quad(\because \text { L.C.M. of } 8,16,24=48) \\ & =\frac{-10}{48}+\frac{-6}{48}+\frac{9}{48} \\ & =\frac{-10-6+9}{48} \\ & =\frac{-16+9}{48}=\frac{-7}{48}\end{aligned}$
