Question

-7 2/3+ (-5 1/2)+ 8 3/4=

Answer 1

Explanation:

-7(⅔) + -5(½) + 8(¾)

-23/3 + (-11/2) + 35/4

-92 - 66 + 105/12

-154 + 105/12

-49/12

Answer 2

First rewrite the fractions to have a common denominator.

2/3 = 8/12 , 1/2 = 6/12 and 3/4 = 9/12

Now you have:

-7 8/12 + (-5 6/12) + 8 9/12

-7 8/12 + (-5 6/12) becomes -7 8/12 - 5 6/12 = -13 2/12

Now you have

-13 2/12 + 8 9/12 = -4 5/12

Answer: -4 5/12
