Answer:
1) 43/40
2) 35/6
3) 43/40
4) -5/3
5) 1/6
Step-by-step explanation:
1) -1 4/5 = -(1*5 +4)/ 5= -9/5
or 1= 5/5 so -1 4/5= -( 5/5+ 4/5)=-9/5
-2 7/8= -(2*8+7)/8=-23/8
=> -9/5 - ( -23/8)= -9/5 + 23/8 = (( -9*8)+(23*5))/40= (-72+ 115)/40
= 43/40
2) 4 3/4= (4*4+3)/4= 19/4
-1 1/12= -(1*12+1)/12= -13/12
=> 19/4 - (-13/12)= 19/4 + 13/12 = ((19*3)+13)/12= (57+13)/12= 35/6
3) same like 1)
4) 3 1/3 = (3*3+1)/3= 10/3
=> 10/3 -5= (10- 3*5)/3= (10-15)/3= -5/3
5) -1/3 + 1/2= ((-1*2)+(1*3))/6 = (-2+3)/6= 1/6
