Answer:

−8/3≈−2.666666667

Explanation:

-2 1/3 - (-10 1/6)

Multiply −2 times 2/1=0.5.

−1−10×( 1/6 )≈−2.666666667

Multiply 10 and 1/6≈0.166666667 to get 10/6≈1.666666667

−1− 10/6 ≈−2.666666667

Reduce the fraction 10/6 ≈1.666666667 to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 2.

−1−5/3 ≈−2.666666667

Convert −1 to fraction −3/3 =−1.

− 3/3−5/3≈−2.666666667

Since −3/3 =−1 and 5/3 ≈1.666666667 have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

−3−5/3 ≈−2.666666667

Subtract 5 from −3 to get −8.

-8/3=−2.666666667
