Answer 1

Answer:

5 and 1 over 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplifying the given:

• Negative 2 and 1 over 6 – negative 7 and 1 over 3 ⇒ translated as:

• - 2 1/6 - (-7 1/3) =         ⇒ cancelling negatives and changing mixed fractions to improper fractions

• - 13/6 + 22/3 =            ⇒ bringing to same denominator

• - 13/6 + 44/6 =            ⇒ calculating the numerator
• 31/6 =                          ⇒ making mixed fraction
• 5 1/6                            ⇒ answer

Correct choice is the last one: 5 and 1 over 6
