Answer

Option A is correct.

-3 ¼ + (-2/3) + 9 5/8

= 5 17/24

Step-by-step explanation

To evaluate this, we need to convert the mixed fractions into improper fractions.

3 ¼ = (13/4)

9 5/8 = (77/8)

-3 ¼ + (-2/3) + 9 5/8

= (-13/4) + (-2/3) + (77/8)

Then we take the LCM which is 24

(-13/4) + (-2/3) + (77/8)

= (-78/24) + (-16/24) + (231/24)

= (-78 - 16 + 231)/24

= (137/24)

= 5 17/24

Hope this Helps!!!
