The correct Answer is:
Let's evaluate the given expressions step by step. ### (i) Evaluate \( \frac{2}{-3} + \frac{-4}{9} \) 1. Rewrite the expression: \[ \frac{2}{-3} + \frac{-4}{9} = -\frac{2}{3} - \frac{4}{9} \] 2. Find the LCM of the denominators (3 and 9): - The LCM of 3 and 9 is 9. 3. Convert \(-\frac{2}{3}\) to have a denominator of 9: \[ -\frac{2}{3} = -\frac{2 \times 3}{3 \times 3} = -\frac{6}{9} \] 4. Now add the fractions: \[ -\frac{6}{9} - \frac{4}{9} = -\frac{6 + 4}{9} = -\frac{10}{9} \] **Answer for (i):** \(-\frac{10}{9}\) --- ### (ii) Evaluate \( \frac{1}{2} + \frac{-3}{4} \) 1. Rewrite the expression: \[ \frac{1}{2} + \frac{-3}{4} = \frac{1}{2} - \frac{3}{4} \] 2. Find the LCM of the denominators (2 and 4): - The LCM of 2 and 4 is 4. 3. Convert \(\frac{1}{2}\) to have a denominator of 4: \[ \frac{1}{2} = \frac{1 \times 2}{2 \times 2} = \frac{2}{4} \] 4. Now subtract the fractions: \[ \frac{2}{4} - \frac{3}{4} = \frac{2 - 3}{4} = \frac{-1}{4} \] **Answer for (ii):** \(-\frac{1}{4}\) --- ### (iii) Evaluate \( \frac{7}{-9} + \frac{-5}{6} \) 1. Rewrite the expression: \[ \frac{7}{-9} + \frac{-5}{6} = -\frac{7}{9} - \frac{5}{6} \] 2. Find the LCM of the denominators (9 and 6): - The LCM of 9 and 6 is 18. 3. Convert \(-\frac{7}{9}\) to have a denominator of 18: \[ -\frac{7}{9} = -\frac{7 \times 2}{9 \times 2} = -\frac{14}{18} \] 4. Convert \(-\frac{5}{6}\) to have a denominator of 18: \[ -\frac{5}{6} = -\frac{5 \times 3}{6 \times 3} = -\frac{15}{18} \] 5. Now add the fractions: \[ -\frac{14}{18} - \frac{15}{18} = -\frac{14 + 15}{18} = -\frac{29}{18} \] **Answer for (iii):** \(-\frac{29}{18}\) --- ### (iv) Evaluate \( 2 + \frac{-3}{4} \) 1. Rewrite the expression: \[ 2 + \frac{-3}{4} = 2 - \frac{3}{4} \] 2. Convert 2 to a fraction: \[ 2 = \frac{2 \times 4}{1 \times 4} = \frac{8}{4} \] 3. Now subtract the fractions: \[ \frac{8}{4} - \frac{3}{4} = \frac{8 - 3}{4} = \frac{5}{4} \] **Answer for (iv):** \(\frac{5}{4}\) --- ### (v) Evaluate \( 3 + \frac{-5}{6} \) 1. Rewrite the expression: \[ 3 + \frac{-5}{6} = 3 - \frac{5}{6} \] 2. Convert 3 to a fraction: \[ 3 = \frac{3 \times 6}{1 \times 6} = \frac{18}{6} \] 3. Now subtract the fractions: \[ \frac{18}{6} - \frac{5}{6} = \frac{18 - 5}{6} = \frac{13}{6} \] **Answer for (v):** \(\frac{13}{6}\) --- ### (vi) Evaluate \( -4 + \frac{2}{3} \) 1. Rewrite the expression: \[ -4 + \frac{2}{3} = -4 + \frac{2}{3} \] 2. Convert -4 to a fraction: \[ -4 = \frac{-4 \times 3}{1 \times 3} = \frac{-12}{3} \] 3. Now add the fractions: \[ \frac{-12}{3} + \frac{2}{3} = \frac{-12 + 2}{3} = \frac{-10}{3} \] **Answer for (vi):** \(-\frac{10}{3}\) ---
