You're both correct... -35 - 6 is -41, so you do end up with -41 / -4. At the same time, though, the negative signs can be cancelled out, leaving you with 41 / 4.

-35 & -6 is -41
the fraction is now
-41 / -4
the only thing your teacher did was cancel the negatives from top and bottom.
and got
41/4
this is a legal move.
You are correct in saying:
-41/ -4 but there is more to simplify because the fraction is really:
(41)(-1) / (4)(-1) and the -1's cancel

80 one/6 + 22/3=? The denominators for 80 one/6 are 6 and 22/3 is 3. So we could desire to take the person-friendly denominator. it would be 6 as 6 could be divided with the aid of 6 itself and with the aid of three. now make the denominators equivalent for the two the values. So now the figures could desire to be 80 one/6+40 4/6 by way of fact the denominators are person-friendly now, we are in a position to simplify as (80 one+40 4)/6 that's a hundred twenty five/6. interior the comparable way you're able to do subtractions . For multiplications 80 one/6 * 22/3, basically circulate divide. (80 one/3=27.) =27*22/6=ninety 9. to divide you invert and mulitpy so this is 80 one/6 x 3/22 = 243/132

Did you ask your teacher how they got their answer? You can't both be right. I would figure it to be -41 as well.
