Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To add the fractions, first find a common denominator, which is 12 in this case. Convert $-\frac{1}{3}$ to $-\frac{4}{12}$, then add $-\frac{5}{12} + (-\frac{4}{12}) = -\frac{9}{12}$, which simplifies to $-\frac{3}{4}$.

Add - −512+(−13)- \frac { 5 } { 12 } + \left( - \frac { 1 } { 3 } \right)−125​+(−31​)

Add
- $- \frac { 5 } { 12 } + \left( - \frac { 1 } { 3 } \right)$
