Question

Hey I need help with it

Answer 1

Answer:

$-1\frac{2}{3 }$

Step-by-step explanation:

$3\frac{1}{3}$ -5

= $\frac{10}{3} -\frac{5}{1}$

=$\frac{10-15}{3}$

=$\frac{-5}{3}$

=  $-1\frac{2}{3 }$

Answer 2

Answer:

$-1 \frac{2}{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

To answer we want to get them both into improper fractions:

3 1/3 = 3 x 3 = 9 + 1 = 10/3

\/

5 = 5/1

&

10/3 - 5/1

Now we need a common denominator:

10/3 - 5/1

\/

10/3 - 15/3

Now we can subtract:

$\frac{10 - 15}{3} = \frac{-5}{3}$

Now we want to turn -5/3 into a mixed number:

3 goes into 5 one time (negative doesn't matter currently) and there is 2 left over. This leaves us with 1 2/3, add on the negative and we get a final answer of $-1 \frac{2}{3}$

Hope this helps, have a nice day :)
