Simplify each of the following and write as a rational number of the form `p/q :\ ` `(-11)/2+7/6+(-5)/8` (ii) `(-4)/5+(-7)/(10)+(-8)/(15)`

Explanation

(i)Adding the given numbers:
`=(-11)/2+7/6+(-5)/-8`
`=-11/2+7/6-5/8`
Taking LCM, we get LCM as `24`.
`=(-132+28-15)/24`
`=(-119)/24`
Hence, the rational number of the form `p/q` is `-119/24`.

(ii)Adding the given numbers:
`=-4/5+(-7)/10+(-8)/13`
`=-4/5+-7/10-8/13`
Taking LCM, we get LCM as `130`.
`=(-104-91-80)/130`
`=(-285-)/130`
`=-57/26`
Hence, the rational number of the form `p/q` is `-57/26`.
