B. Find the sum. Express your answer as a mixed number in lowest terms. ​

Answer 1

-3 5/6

Here is what i did to solve it.:

-1 2/3 = -5/3, and -2 1/6 = -13/6. The LCD is 6.

We convert -5/3 to -10/6 and combine this result with -13/6:

-10/6 - 13/6 = -23

Answer 2

-3 5/6

Here is what i did to solve it.:

-1 2/3 = -5/3, and -2 1/6 = -13/6. The LCD is 6.

We convert -5/3 to -10/6 and combine this result with -13/6:

-10/6 - 13/6 = -23/6

This last result can be rewritten as -3 5/6.

Hope this help, stay safe and have a nice day! :))))))
