Re- arrange suitably and find the sum: ...

Re- arrange suitably and find the sum: `5/3+(11)/2+\ (-9)/4+\ (-8)/3+\ (-7)/2`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Rearrange suitably and find the sum: `5/3+(11)/2+\ (-9)/4+\ (-8)/3+\ (-7)/2`
Arrange the numbers together whose denominator is same
`[5/3+(-8/3)]+[11/2+(-7/2)]+(-9/4)`
Taking `3` and `2` common from the denominator and solve it,
`=[{5-8}/{3}]+[{11-7}/{2}]+(-9/4)`
`=[-3/3+4/2-9/4]`
`=[-1+2-3/2]`
`=[1/1-3/2]`
`=-1/2`
Hence,`-1/2` is the correct answer.
