What is the sum of the largest and smallest of the numbers
+-1%2F4+,+-1%2F3+,+0+,+3%2F2+, 4%2F3
-1%2F4%3E+-1%2F3
-1%2F3+%3C+0+
0+%3C3%2F2
3%2F2%3E4%2F3
so, in ascending order your numbers are:
+-1%2F3+, +-1%2F4+,+0+, 4%2F3,+3%2F2+
the largest of the numbers is 3%2F2
and the smallest of the numbers is +-1%2F3+
the sum of the largest and smallest of the numbers is
3%2F2%2B%28-1%2F3+%29=9%2F6-2%2F6=7%2F6
