add 5 to -2 and 1/3

Answer 2

Answer:

2 2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplify the following:

-(2 + 1/3) - -5

Hint: | Put the fractions in 2 + 1/3 over a common denominator.

Put 2 + 1/3 over the common denominator 3. 2 + 1/3 = (3×2)/3 + 1/3:

-(3×2)/3 + 1/3 - -5

Hint: | Multiply 3 and 2 together.

3×2 = 6:

-(6/3 + 1/3) - -5

Hint: | Add the fractions over a common denominator to a single fraction.

6/3 + 1/3 = (6 + 1)/3:

-(6 + 1)/3 - -5

Hint: | Evaluate 6 + 1.

6 + 1 = 7:

-7/3 - -5

Hint: | Multiply -1 and -5 together.

-(-5) = 5:

(-7)/3 + 5

Hint: | Put the fractions in (-7)/3 + 5 over a common denominator.

Put (-7)/3 + 5 over the common denominator 3. (-7)/3 + 5 = (-7)/3 + (3×5)/3:

(-7)/3 + (3×5)/3

Hint: | Multiply 3 and 5 together.

3×5 = 15:

(-7)/3 + 15/3

Hint: | Subtract the fractions over a common denominator to a single fraction.

-7/3 + 15/3 = (-7 + 15)/3:

(-7 + 15)/3

Hint: | Subtract 7 from 15.

-7 + 15 = 8:

Answer: 8/3 - > convert to mixed fraction

___________________________________________

Convert to a mixed number:

8/3

Hint: | Use long division to get a quotient and remainder.

Divide 8 by 3:

3 | 8

Hint: | How many times does 3 go into 8?

3 goes into 8 at most 2 times:

| 2

3 | 8

- | 6

| 2

Hint: | Summarize the results.

Read off the results. The quotient is the number at the top and the remainder is the number at the bottom:

| 2 | (quotient)

3 | 8 |  

- | 6 |  

| 2 | (remainder)

Hint: | In the equivalent mixed fraction, the quotient becomes the whole number part, the remainder becomes the numerator part, and the divisor (denominator) remains the denominator.

The quotient of 8/3 is 2 with remainder 2, so:

Answer: 2 2/3
