Answer 1

Answer: $2\frac{2}{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$-2\frac{1}{3}-(-5)=$

Convert the mixed number to improper fraction. You can do this by multiplying the whole number times the denominator and adding the numerator; over the same denominator.

$-\frac{2*3+1}{3} -(-5)=$

Solve;

$-\frac{6+1}{3} -(-5)=$

$-\frac{7}{3} -(-5)=$

Now, get rid of the two negatives by multiplying.

$-\frac{7}{3} +5=$

Remember 5 has a 1 below; therefore, we can subtract these two fractions by getting both to a same denominator. Let's rewrite 5 as a fraction.

$-\frac{7}{3}+\frac{5}{1} =$

To be able to convert 1 to 3, we have to multiply by 3. Remember that if you change the denominator, you have to change the numerator as well.

$-\frac{7}{3}+\frac{5}{1} (\frac{3}{3} ) =$

Solve;

$-\frac{7}{3}+\frac{15}{3} =$

Subtract numerators and keep the same denominator.

$\frac{-7+15}{3}=\frac{8}{3}$

Convert to a mixed number. To do this, first, divide:

8/3=2

6

2

The 2 after the equal sign is the whole number, the two in the remainder is the numerator and the 3 is the denominator. Leaving our result as: $2\frac{2}{3}$
