You need to add two mixed numerals.
One is positive and one is negative.
To add a positive number and a negative number, first take the absolute value of both, making them both positive. Then subtract the smaller absolute value from the larger absolute value. Finally, the sign of the answer is the same sign as the number that has the larger absolute value.
The numbers are -4 5/8 and 2 1/8
Take absolute values:
|-4 5/8| = 4 5/8
|2 1/8| = 2 1/8
Subtract the smaller absolute value from the larger absolute value.
4 5/8 - 2 1/8 = 2 4/8 = 2 1/2
The greater absolute value is 4 5/8.
Since the number with the larger absolute value was -4 5/8, a negative number, the answer is negative, -2 1/2
-4 5/8 + 2 1/8 = - 2 1/2

Answer:
2 1/6
Step-by-step explanation:
Because the denominators are different, and there are whole numbers involved, then first make the fractions improper.
4 1/2 -> 9/2
6 2/3 -> 20/3
Next, make the denominators the same by multiplying each fraction by the denominator of the other.
9/2 * 3 = 27/6
20/3 * 2 = 40/6
Then you can subtract the numerators because the denominators are the same:
40/6-27/6= 13/6
Then you can convert to a mixed fraction if need be.
