-3 5/9 plus -4 1/9

Answer 1

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

To add -3 5/9 and -4 1/9, we first need to find a common denominator for the fractions. The common denominator is 9.

-3 5/9 can be rewritten as -3 45/9
-4 1/9 can be rewritten as -4 9/9

Now, we can add the whole numbers separately from the fractions:

-3 + -4 = -7

For the fractions, we add the numerators and keep the common denominator:

45/9 + 9/9 = 54/9

Combining the whole numbers and fractions, we have:

-7 + 54/9

To simplify the fraction, we can divide both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common divisor (GCD), which is 9 in this case:

54 ÷ 9 = 6
9 ÷ 9 = 1

Therefore, -7 + 54/9 simplifies to:

-7 + 6/1

Now, we can add the whole number and the fraction:

-7 + 6/1 = -7 + 6 = -1

Therefore, -3 5/9 plus -4 1/9 equals -1.

Answer 2

To add -3 5/9 and -4 1/9, we first need to find a common denominator.

The denominators of 9 and 9 are already the same, so we can proceed to add the numerators.

For the whole numbers, -3 and -4, we have -3 + (-4) = -7.

For the fractions, we have 5/9 + 1/9 = 6/9.

Now we can combine the whole number and fraction parts:

-7 + 6/9.

To simplify the fraction, we can divide the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 3 in this case.

6 divided by 3 is 2, and 9 divided by 3 is 3.

So, -7 + 6/9 simplifies to -7 + 2/3.
