Right now in school we are studying positive and negative numbers and how to do them with procedures. I can’t figure out the problem “-1/3 + (-7/4)”, it would be a great help if someone could help me.

17/12

Explanation:

-4/12 --21/12 = 17/12

Hope this helped, Subtracting fractions can be tricky :).
