Answer:

-18 13/24

Explanation:

Looking at the two numbers, we need to find a common denominator. To do that, list the multiplies of both numbers & find the first one that is in common.

8: 8, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56, 64, 72, 80, 88, 96, 104, 112, 120

6: 6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, 42, 48, 54, 60, 66, 72, 78, 84, 90, 96, 102, 108, 114, 120

The first multiple 8 & 6 share is 24, so we'll use that as our denominator

-67/8 - 61/6

-201/24 - 244/24

(-201 - 244)/24

Subtract 244 from -201 to get -445.

-445/24

Convert -445/24 into a mixed number.

-18 13/24 is the answer to -8 3/8 - 10 1/6.
