Answer:

The answer is -227/40 or -5 27/40

Explanation:

Easiest way to explain this is to first get the common denominator of the denominators of 5 and 8

This will equal 40 and we have to multiply the numerators as well so this will look like....

-35/40 - 4 32/40

Now we need to convert the whole number in -4 32/40 into a fraction

4 multiplied by 40 is 160 so we will need to add 160 and 32 making the equation now say -35/40 -192/40 which will equal -227/40

So this will make the answer -227/40 in fraction form and in a compound fraction it will be -5 27/40
