Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To add the fractions, they need a common denominator. The least common denominator for 9 and 3 is 9. Convert $-\frac{1}{3}$ to $-\frac{3}{9}$, then add: $-\frac{8}{9} + (-\frac{3}{9}) = -\frac{11}{9}$.

Add - −89+(−13)- \frac { 8 } { 9 } + \left( - \frac { 1 } { 3 } \right)−98​+(−31​)

Add
- $- \frac { 8 } { 9 } + \left( - \frac { 1 } { 3 } \right)$
