Question
Find `(-3)/8 - 7/11`.
Sum
Solution
Given, `(-3)/8 - 7/11`
Now the LCM of the denominator of the latter parameter = 8 × 11 = 88
= `((- 3 xx 11) - (7 xx 8))/88`
= `(- 33 - 56)/88`
= `(- 89)/88`
The numerator and denominator of the obtained rational number have no other multiple than 1.
Hence, `(- 89)/88`
