4 + -1 1/3

Turn 4 into an improper fraction.

4/4 is equal to 12/3. We want both 4 and 1 1/3 to have the same denominator so that they could be subtracted from each other.

New question :

12/3 + - 1 1/3

Turn {-1 1/3} into an improper fraction.

(3 × 1) + 1 = 4/3

So, -1 1/3 = -4/3

Our new question :

12/3 + - 4/3

Simplify.

12/3 - 4/3 = 8/3

Turn into a mixed number.

2 2/3

~Hope I helped!~
