Answer:

1. ¼

2. 2 ¾

Explanation:

Use order of operations PEMDAS (parenthesis, exponent, multiplication and division, addition and subtraction).

1. -¾ − 3 (⅓ − 2) ÷ 5

-¾ − 3 (⅓ − ⁶/₃) ÷ 5

-¾ − 3 (-⁵/₃) ÷ 5

-¾ + 5 ÷ 5

-¾ + 1

¼

2. -¼ − 5 (⅖ − 4) ÷ 6

-¼ − 5 (⅖ − ²⁰/₅) ÷ 6

-¼ − 5 (-¹⁸/₅) ÷ 6

-¼ + 18 ÷ 6

-¼ + 3

2 ¾
