Question

How do i do this problem -5/3 + 2 1/3 =

Answer 1

The answer is 2/3.

I have ADHD, so the way I show you how to do this will be different than the way you were taught. (People with ADHD do math differently, we are taught the same way, we just do it differently because of our thought process.)

Explanation:

I convert the fractions into decimals. So -5/3 would be -1.66 and 2 1/3 would be 2.33.

Then I add them. -1.66+ 2.33=0.67

Lastly, you convert .67 into a fraction. When you convert .67 into a fraction, you get 2/3.

So 2/3 is your answer.

Answer 2

2/3

Explanation:

Basically, you convert 2 1/3 into an improper fraction, then you add them together. I subtract it because adding a negative and a positive is the same as subtracting 2 positives. I dont know if that makes sense to you. ok so 7/3-5/3. 7-5 is 2 and you leave the 3's as they are because they are the same denominator. so you get 2/3
