You asked:

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

MathBot Answer:

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


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