Solution :-

Firstly group the rational numbers with same denominators

\(  \dfrac{11}{12 }+ \dfrac{-17}{3} + \dfrac{11}{2} +\dfrac{ -25}{2} \)

\(\dfrac{ 11}{12} + \dfrac{-17}{3} +\dfrac{ (11-25)}{2}\)

\(\dfrac{ 11}{12} + \dfrac{-17}{3} + \dfrac{-14}{2}\)

By taking LCM for 12, 3 and 2 we get, 12

\(\dfrac{ (11×1)}{(12×1) }+\dfrac{ (-17×4)}{(3×4) }+ \dfrac{(-14×6)}{(2×6)}\)

\(\dfrac{ 11}{12 }+ \dfrac{-68}{12} +\dfrac{ -84}{12}\)

Since the denominators are same can be added directly

\(\dfrac{ (11-68-84}{12} = \dfrac{-141}{12}\)
