Solve: Adding (-1/8) and (-6/8) - Negative Fraction Addition

$(-\frac{1}{8})+(-\frac{6}{8})=$

To solve this problem, we'll follow these steps:

• Step 1: Add the numerators of the fractions.
• Step 2: Keep the common denominator for the result.
• Step 3: Simplify if necessary and confirm with answer choices.

Let's work through the solution step-by-step:

Step 1: Add the numerators.

The expression is $-\frac{1}{8} + -\frac{6}{8}$.

The numerators are $-1$ and $-6$. Adding these gives:

$-1 + (-6) = -1 - 6 = -7$.

Step 2: Write the result over the common denominator.

Since the denominator is $8$, the fraction becomes $-\frac{7}{8}$.

Step 3: Verify and finalize the result.

The result $-\frac{7}{8}$ matches one of the multiple-choice options.

Therefore, the solution to the problem is $-\frac{7}{8}$.
