Answer:

-1.33 and so on

Explanation:

Take each fraction and plug it into a calculator. 2/3 is really 2 divide by 3. Same with the 5 and 6. You should get 0.67 and so on for 2/3 and 0.83 and so on for the 5/6. Subtract as shown in the problem. You should get 0.67-0.83= -0.1666 so on. Multiply by 8 to get -1.33 and so on. The "and so on" means this decimal is repeating. Hope this Helps!
