Answer:

10 1/4

Explanation:

okay so the equation 4 3/8-(-5 7/8) needs to be simplified to a answerable equation by changing -(-5 7/8) to + 5 7/8

the reason for this is because when two subtraction signs are like this -(- it turns the number into a positive and we add instead of subtract.

4 3/8 + 5 7/8 = 9 10/8 = 10 2/8 = 10 1/4

I hope this helps you
