Answer:
6 7/12
Explanation:
-7 2/3 +(5 1/2) + 8 3/4
Get a common denominator of 12
-7 2/3 * 4/4 +(5 1/2 +6/6) + 8 3/4*3/3
-7 8/12 + 5 6/12 + 8 9/12
Subtract the first two terms first
They have opposite signs so subtract and take the sign of the larger
-7 8/12 + 5 6/12 = -2 2/12
-2 2/12 + 8 9/12
They have opposite signs so subtract and take the sign of the larger
-2 2/12 + 8 9/12 = 6 7/12
