Q. What is the sign of 391113+(41113) ?  39 \frac{11}{13}+\left(-41 \frac{1}{13}\right) \text { ? } \newlineChoose 11 answer:\newline(A) Positive\newline(B) Negative\newline(C) Neither positive nor negative-the sum is zero.
  1. Calculate first term: Calculate the first term of the sum.\newlineThe first term is 39(11)/(13)39(11)/(13). To simplify this, we divide 3939 by 1313 and then multiply by 1111.\newline39/13=339/13 = 3\newline3×11=333 \times 11 = 33\newlineSo, the first term is 3333.
  2. Calculate second term: Calculate the second term of the sum.\newlineThe second term is 41(1)/(13)-41(1)/(13). To simplify this, we divide 41-41 by 1313.\newline41/13=3.15384615385-41/13 = -3.15384615385, which can be rounded to 3.15385-3.15385 for simplicity, but since we are only interested in the sign, we can note that the result is negative.\newlineSo, the second term is approximately 3.15385-3.15385.
  3. Add terms together: Add the two terms together.\newlineNow we add the first term (3333) to the second term (3.15385-3.15385).\newline33+(3.15385)=29.8461533 + (-3.15385) = 29.84615\newlineThe sum is positive because 3333 is greater than 3.153853.15385, and subtracting a smaller positive number from a larger positive number results in a positive number.
