You asked:

Evaluate the expression: \(\frac{-8}{15} - 0\)

MathBot Answer:

\[ \frac{-8}{15} - 0 = - \frac{8}{15} = -0.5\overline{3} \]


The sum can be computed by rewriting each term over a common denominator, where the least common denominator of \(\frac{-8}{15}\) and \(\frac{0}{1}\) is \(15\). \[ \begin{aligned} \frac{-8}{15} - 0 &= \frac{-8 \cdot 1}{15 \cdot 1} + \frac{0 \cdot 15}{1 \cdot 15} \\ &= \frac{-8 + 0}{15} \\ &= \frac{-8}{15} \end{aligned} \]
