Question
Simplify: $\frac{3}{8}-\frac{-2}{9}+\frac{-5}{36}$
✓
Answer
$\frac{3}{8}-\frac{-2}{9}+\frac{-5}{36}$
Taking the $LCM$ of the denominators: $\frac{27}{72}-\frac{-16}{72}+\frac{-10}{72}$
$=\frac{27-(-16)+(-10)}{72}$
$=\frac{27+16-10}{72}$
$=\frac{33}{72}$
$=\frac{11}{24}$
Taking the $LCM$ of the denominators: $\frac{27}{72}-\frac{-16}{72}+\frac{-10}{72}$
