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.

The total area of the face of the watch to the nearest tenth of a square centimemter is 9.0 cm²
Since an electronics company is designing a watch with a face that is in the shape of a hexagon and two congruent trapezoids attached. The heights of the trapezoids and the apothem of the hexagon measure 2 centimeters each, and the length of the shorter base of each trapezoid is 1.5 centimeters, the radii of the hexagon, and the base of the trapezoid form a triangle of 
- height, h = apothem of the hexagon = 2 cm and 
 - base, b = length of shorter base of trapezoid. 
 
<h3>Area of the triangle</h3>
So, the area of this triangle is A = 1/2bh 
= 1/2 × 1. 5 cm × 2 cm 
= 1.5 cm × 1 cm 
= 1.5 cm²
<h3>Area of the hexagon</h3>
Since there are 6 of such triangles in the hexagon, the area of the hexagon, A' = 6A 
= 6 × 1.5 cm² 
= 9.0 cm²
So, the total area of the face of the watch to the nearest tenth of a square centimemter is 9.0 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:
If two quantities x and y vary (change) together in such a manner that the ratio of their corresponding values remains constant, then x and y are said to be in direct proportion.
