Question

Hey I need help with it

Answer 1

`-1(2)/(3 )`

Explanation:

`3(1)/(3)` -5

=
`(10)/(3) -(5)/(1)`

=
`(10-15)/(3)`

=
`(-5)/(3)`

=
`-1(2)/(3 )`

Answer 2

`-1 (2)/(3)`

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:

`(10 - 15)/(3) = (-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 (2)/(3)`

Hope this helps, have a nice day :)
