Question

Add using a number line 5/6+(-1 1/6) drag and drop word sum to the correct value on the number line

Answer 1

To find this answer, the second value needs to be converted into an improper fraction. (-1 1/6) becomes (-7/6) when properly converted. Then, 5/6 + (-7/6) becomes the same as (5/6) - (7/6). Since both have common denominators, the numerators can simply be subtracted: (5-7) = -2. This leaves a sum of (-2/6), which can be reduced to (-1/3).
