How do I solve this problem? i dont remembet how to

Answer 1

To add them together, you have to make the mixed fraction into an improper fraction. To do this, multiply the big number by the denominator, and add that product to the numerator. This is known as the check mark.

Multiply the big number by the denominator.

2(3) = 6

Add that product to the numerator.

6 + 1 = 7

7 will be the numerator and the denominator will stay the same. This leaves us with 7/3. Now, we can add the numerators together. When adding with fractions, the denominator stays the same.

$\frac{-5}{3} + \frac{7}{3} = \frac{2}{3}$

The answer is 2/3.
