Answer:

Explanation:

To add these mixed numbers, we first need to convert them to improper fractions:

-3 1/4 = -13/4

4 2/5 = 22/5

Now we can add the fractions by finding a common denominator, which is 20:

-13/4 + 22/5 = (-65/20) + (88/20) = 23/20

To express the answer as a mixed number, we divide the numerator by the denominator:

23 ÷ 20 = 1 remainder 3

So the sum of -3 1/4 and 4 2/5 is 1 3/20.
