Answer 1

Answer:

A.) -5 1/6

Step-by-step explanation:

I have to assume that this is a mixed fraction meaning:

-$2\frac{1}{6} -(-7\frac{1}{3})$

First I will convert this mixed fractions into improper fractions to make the math easier:

$\frac{(-2)(6)+1}{6}+\frac{(3)(7)+1}{3}$

$-\frac{13}{6} +\frac{22}{3}=\frac{(-13)(3)+(22)(6)}{(6)(3)}=\frac{-39+132}{18}=\frac{93}{18}=\frac{-31}{6}$

How many times does 6 go into 31?  6x5=30 which leaves remainder 1 and so our answer will be $-\frac{31}{6}= -5\frac{1}{6}$
