Question

(-1/20)+(-1/30)+(-1/42)+(-1/56)+(-1/72)+(-1/90)

Answer 1

(-1/20)+(-1/30)+(-1/42)+(-1/56)+(-1/72)+(-1/90)= - 3/20

Answer 2

\(\frac{-1}{20}+\frac{-1}{30}+\frac{-1}{42}+\frac{-1}{56}+\frac{-1}{72}+\frac{-1}{90}\)

= \(\frac{-1}{4.5}+\frac{-1}{5.6}+\frac{-1}{6.7}+\frac{-1}{7.8}+\frac{-1}{8.9}+\frac{-1}{9.10}\)

= \(\left(-1\right).\left(\frac{1}{4.5}+\frac{1}{5.6}+\frac{1}{6.7}+\frac{1}{7.8}+\frac{1}{8.9}+\frac{1}{9.10}\right)\)

= \(\left(-1\right).\left(\frac{1}{4}-\frac{1}{5}+\frac{1}{5}+\frac{1}{6}+\frac{1}{6}-\frac{1}{7}+\frac{1}{7}-\frac{1}{8}+\frac{1}{8}-\frac{1}{9}+\frac{1}{9}-\frac{1}{10}\right)\)

= \(\left(-1\right).\left(\frac{1}{4}-\frac{1}{10}\right)\)

= \(\left(-1\right).\frac{3}{20}\)

= \(\frac{-3}{20}\)
