Question

WHAT IS THE ANSWER PLZ HELP ME??? I WILL MARK BRAINLIEST!!!

Answer 1

Answer:

- 5/6

Step-by-step explanation:

turn it into an improper fraction.

1 and 2/3 = 5/3

2 and 1/2 = 5/2

5/3 - 5/2 = 10/6 - 15/6

= -5/6

Answer 2

Answer:

First you have to change both of the mixed numbers to improper fractions. To do this you would multiply the denominator and the whole number then add the numerator.

1 2/3 = 5/3

-2 1/2 = -5/2

Find the least common denominator (LCM). Add the numerator, and keep the denominator the same.

The LCM for these two fractions would be 6 so to get to six you would multiply 5/3 by 2/2 and -5/2 by 3/3.

5/3 = 10/6

-5/2 = -15/6

Add the numerators (10 + -15 = -5), and keep the denominator the same (6). Therefore, the answer would be -5/6.
