Question

-3 5/6 - 2 1/3$.$$- 3 \frac{5}{6} - (2 \frac{1}{3} )$

Answer 1

Answer:

-4½

Explanation:

Given the expression:

$-3\frac{5}{6}-(2\frac{1}{3})$

We can rewrite the expression in the form below:

$=-3-\frac{5}{6}-2-\frac{1}{3}$

Reorder the terms:

$=-3-2-\frac{1}{3}-\frac{5}{6}$

Simplify:

$\begin{gathered} =-5-\frac{2-5}{6} \\ =-5-\frac{-3}{6} \\ =-5+\frac{1}{2} \\ =-4\frac{1}{2} \end{gathered}$

The result is -4½.
