Answer 1

-7 3/8

Explanation:

The least common denominator of 3, 4, 6, and 8 is 24; converting all of our fractions to that denominator and solving, we have

`-(8)/(3)+\left(-(1)/(4)\right)+\left(-(11)/(6)\right)+(3)/(8)-3\\=-(64)/(24)+\left(-(6)/(24)\right)+\left(-(44)/(24)\right)+(9)/(24)-3\\\\=(-64+(-6)+(-44)+9)/(24) -3\\\\=(-70+(-44)+9)/(24) -3\\\\=(-114+9)/(24) -3\\\\=(-105)/(24)-3 \\\\=(-35)/(8)-3\\ \\=-4(3)/(8)-3\\\\=-7(3)/(8)`

So our solution is -7 3/8
