So, if you have -5/1-5/3 you have to find the LCD (least common denominator) so you can subtract them. The LCD would be 3 because the denominators would be the same and with 1 as a denominator its pretty easy. Then, you would multiply the numerator by 3 and you would get -15/3-5/3 and you can subtract normally. If you subtract correctly you should get -20/3. I really hoped this helped. :)

Answer:

Total distance from Mr. West to dolphin $=27\frac{4}{5}\ meters$

Step-by-step explanation:

Height of cliff on which Mr. West is standing above the surface of ocean = $25 \frac{1}{5} \ meters$

Mr. West spot the dolphin under the water at a depth of = $2\frac{3}{5} \ meters$

∴ Total distance from Mr. West to dolphin= $(25 \frac{1}{5}+2\frac{3}{5})\ meters$

Adding mixed numbers

$(25 \frac{1}{5}+2\frac{3}{5})$

Adding whole numbers first.

$=25+2+\frac{1}{5}+\frac{3}{5}\\=27+\frac{1}{5}+\frac{3}{5}$

Adding fractions by taking LCD.

$=27+\frac{1+3}{5}\\=27+\frac{4}{5}\\=27\frac{4}{5}\ meters$
