Answer:

The answer is -6 5/8

Step-by-step explanation: First, convert the fraction of 1/4 in 8ths, which would be 2/8, so we are subraction 3/8+2/8 which =5/8. The only whole number is -6, so your answer is -6 5/8. I know the person above did not give a real answer, so I hope this answer helps you.
