Question

\(\dfrac{-1}{7}-\dfrac{1}{8}\)

\(\dfrac{-15}{48}-\dfrac{1}{12}\)

\(\dfrac{-3}{4}-\dfrac{4}{5}\)

\(\dfrac{3}{4}+\dfrac{-5}{6}-\dfrac{11}{12}\)

Answer 1

\(\dfrac{-1}{7}-\dfrac{1}{8}=\dfrac{-8}{56}-\dfrac{7}{56}=\dfrac{-15}{56}\\ \dfrac{-15}{48}-\dfrac{1}{12}=\dfrac{-5}{16}-\dfrac{1}{12}=\dfrac{-15}{48}-\dfrac{4}{48}=\dfrac{-19}{48}\\ \dfrac{-3}{4}-\dfrac{4}{5}=\dfrac{-15}{20}-\dfrac{16}{20}=\dfrac{-31}{20}\\ \dfrac{3}{4}+\dfrac{-5}{6}-\dfrac{11}{12}=\dfrac{9}{12}-\dfrac{10}{12}-\dfrac{11}{12}=\dfrac{-12}{12}=-1\)
