What is the sum of $ \frac{9}{8} $ and $ -\frac{11}{8} $?


Given: 

Given fractions are \( \frac{9}{8} \) and \( -\frac{11}{8} \).

To do: 

We have to find the sum of \( \frac{9}{8} \) and \( -\frac{11}{8} \).

Solution:

$\frac{9}{8}+\frac{-11}{8}=\frac{9+(-11)}{8}$

$=\frac{9-11}{8}$

$=\frac{-2}{8}$

$=\frac{-1}{4}$

The sum of \( \frac{9}{8} \) and \( -\frac{11}{8} \) is $\frac{-1}{4}$.
