Question

Solve $\frac{-8}{3}+\frac{-1}{4}+\frac{-11}{6}+\frac{3}{8}-3$

Answer 1

$\frac{-8}{3}+\frac{-1}{4}+\frac{-11}{6}+\frac{3}{8}-3$

Now, at first finding LCM of $(3,4,6,8)$

We can write-

$3=34=2\times 26=2\times 38=2\times 2\times 2$

So, LCM will be $2\times 2\times 2\times 3=24$

$=\frac{-8\times 8+(-1\times 6)+(-11\times 4)+(3\times 3)-(3\times 24)}{24}$

$=\frac{-64-6-44+9-72}{24}$

$=\frac{-177}{24}$

$=-7.375$
