The correct Answer is:
To solve the expression \(\frac{2}{3} + \left(-\frac{4}{5}\right) + \frac{7}{15} + \left(-\frac{11}{20}\right)\), we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the denominators The denominators of the fractions are 3, 5, 15, and 20. We need to find the least common multiple (LCM) of these denominators to combine the fractions. ### Step 2: Find the LCM The LCM of 3, 5, 15, and 20 is 60. ### Step 3: Convert each fraction to have the common denominator Now we will convert each fraction to have a denominator of 60: - For \(\frac{2}{3}\): \[ \frac{2}{3} = \frac{2 \times 20}{3 \times 20} = \frac{40}{60} \] - For \(-\frac{4}{5}\): \[ -\frac{4}{5} = -\frac{4 \times 12}{5 \times 12} = -\frac{48}{60} \] - For \(\frac{7}{15}\): \[ \frac{7}{15} = \frac{7 \times 4}{15 \times 4} = \frac{28}{60} \] - For \(-\frac{11}{20}\): \[ -\frac{11}{20} = -\frac{11 \times 3}{20 \times 3} = -\frac{33}{60} \] ### Step 4: Combine the fractions Now we can combine all the fractions: \[ \frac{40}{60} - \frac{48}{60} + \frac{28}{60} - \frac{33}{60} \] Combine the numerators: \[ 40 - 48 + 28 - 33 = 40 - 48 = -8 \] \[ -8 + 28 = 20 \] \[ 20 - 33 = -13 \] Thus, we have: \[ \frac{-13}{60} \] ### Final Answer The final answer is: \[ \frac{-13}{60} \] ---
