The sum of $\frac{-35}{11}$ and $\frac{12}{55}$ is ____________

• A. $-\frac{136}{11}$
• B. $\frac{-163}{55}$
• C. $\frac{-165}{55}$
• D. $\frac{-163}{11}$

Answer 1

The correct option is B

$\frac{-163}{55}$

Sum of $\frac{-35}{11}$ and $\frac{12}{55}$ = $\frac{-35}{11}$ + $\frac{12}{55}$

= $\frac{-175}{55}$ + $\frac{12}{55}$
( LCM of 11 and 55 is 55)

= $\frac{-175+12}{55}$

= $\frac{-163}{55}$
