Answer 1

1 11/40

Explanation:

-1 3/5- (-2 7/8)

so the negative and subtraction combined to positive

like,

-1 3/5+ 2 7/8

so, then separate to make it easier,

-1 -3/5 +2 +7/8

then,

-1+2= 1

and,

-3/5+7/8 but you have to find common denominators so,

-24/40 + 35/40 = 11/40

after that add it all together to get your answer,

1 + 11/40= 1 11/40

Answer 2

1.275 or 1 11/40
