Answer:

8/15

Explanation:

There is absolute value, so the a and b become positives.

But there is a negative on the outside, meaning - (a+b)

So:

-1 2/3 - 1

______

2 - (-3)

Then..

-2 2/3

______

5

You can convert each number to a complete fraction and use keep change flip.

2 2/3 = 8/3 and 5 = 15/3

8/3 divided by 15/3 is..

8 x 3

_. _

3. 15

You can cancel out the 3's and then multiple 8/1 x 1/15

That equals 8/15, since you can't simplify it anymore.
