Answer 1

Answer:

6  7/12

Step-by-step explanation:

-7 2/3 +(5 1/2) + 8 3/4

Get a common denominator of 12

-7 2/3 * 4/4 +(5 1/2 +6/6) + 8 3/4*3/3

-7 8/12    + 5 6/12     + 8 9/12

Subtract the  first two terms first

They have opposite signs so subtract and take the sign of the larger

-7 8/12    + 5 6/12    = -2 2/12

-2  2/12 + 8 9/12

They have opposite signs so subtract and take the sign of the larger

-2  2/12 + 8 9/12 = 6 7/12
