Question

-2 4/5 + 1/4 equals what ?

Answer 1

Hey there! :)

Since 2 4/5 is greater than 1/4, the answer is negative.

You can just subtract 2 4/5 and 1/4 and add the (-) sign

2 4/5 - 1/4

Change the fractions so they can have a common denominator: 20

2 4/5 = 2 16/20

1/4 = 5/20

2 16/20 - 5/20 = 2 11/20

Add the (-) sign → -2 11/20

Answer ⇒ -2 11/20
