Question

1 5/6 - (-2 4/5)$1 \frac{5}{6} - ( - 2 \frac{4}{5} )$

Answer 1

We have the following:

$1\frac{5}{6}-(-2\frac{4}{5})$

solving:

$\begin{gathered} 1\frac{5}{6}=\frac{11}{6} \\ 2\frac{4}{5}=\frac{14}{5} \\ \frac{11}{6}+\frac{14}{5}=\frac{11\cdot5+14\cdot6}{30}=\frac{55+84}{30}=\frac{139}{30} \\ \frac{139}{30}=4\frac{19}{30} \end{gathered}$

The answer is 4 19/30
