Question

5 1/3 + (-4 1/6)+ (-2 1/2)

Answer 1

Answer:

$-\frac{4}{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that

$5\frac{1}{3}+(-4\frac{1}{6})+(-2\frac{1}{2})$

We have to find the value of given expression

$\frac{5(3)+1}{3}-(\frac{4(6)+1}{6})-(\frac{2(2)+1}{2})$

$=\frac{15+1}{3}-\frac{24+1}{6}-\frac{4+1}{2}$

$=\frac{16}{3}-\frac{25}{6}-\frac{5}{2}$

LCM(2,3,6)=6

$=\frac{32-25-15}{6}$

$=\frac{32-40}{6}$

$=\frac{-8}{6}$

$=-\frac{4}{3}$
