Answer:


(35)/(33)

Explanation:


(8)/(11) - ( - (1)/(3) ) \\ = (8)/(11) + (1)/(3) \\ = (8 * 3)/(11 * 3) + (1 * 11)/(3 * 11) \\ = (24)/(33) + (11)/(33) \\ = (35)/(33)

Things to note :

Subtracting a negative value will be equals to adding.

To add/subtract 2 fractions together, the denominator must be the same.
