The difference between mixed numbers gives:
-5¹/₆ - (-8¹/₂) = 3¹/₃
So the correct option is the third one.
<h3 /><h3>How to get the difference between mixed numbers?</h3>
Here we want to compute the difference between two mixed numbers.
First, remember that we can rewrite those as:
-5¹/₆ = (-5 - 1/6)
-8¹/₂ = (-8 - 1/2)
Now, let's go to the difference:
-5¹/₆ - (-8¹/₂)
First you can see that there are two negative signs together, so it is equivalent to a positive sign:
-5¹/₆ - (-8¹/₂) = -5¹/₆ + 8¹/₂
Now we can replace the mixed numbers to get:
-5¹/₆ + 8¹/₂ = (-5 - 1/6) + (8 + 1/2) = (8 - 5) + (1/2 - 1/6) = (3 + 2/6) = 3 + 1/3
And that can be rewritten to:
3 + 1/3 = 3¹/₃
Which is completely simplified.
So we conclude that the correct option is the third one, counting from the top.

44 [minutes] * 8 [times as many as April] = 352 [minutes in April]
Answer:
The correct answer is the last choice. It travels for 2 hours, then stops for 1 hour, and finally travels again for 2 hours.
Step-by-step explanation:
In the first segment of the trip, the car goes from 0 to 2 hours and the line is moving up. Therefore, it traveled for 2 hours.
In the second segment, the line went straight horizontal for 1 hour. That means the distance didn't change, in other words, it didn't move.
In the last segment, it moved up again for 2 hours.
7 7/8 - 3 1/4
7 7/8 = 6.125
3 1/4 = 0.75
so 6.125 - 0.75
= 5.375
as a mixed fraction the answer is 5 3/8
