Solve {-1/3-3/2}

$$\{ - 1 / 3 - 3 / 2 \}$$

Evaluate

$$-\frac{11}{6}\approx -1.833333333$$

Solution Steps

Least common multiple of 3 and 2 is 6. Convert -\frac{1}{3} and \frac{3}{2} to fractions with denominator 6.

$$-\frac{2}{6}-\frac{9}{6}$$

Since -\frac{2}{6} and \frac{9}{6} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$\frac{-2-9}{6}$$

Subtract 9 from -2 to get -11.

$$-\frac{11}{6}$$

Factor

$$-\frac{11}{6} = -1\frac{5}{6} = -1.8333333333333333$$
