Question

-4 5/9 + (-1 2/3)$- 4 \frac{5}{9} + ( - 1 \frac{2}{3} )$

Answer 1

Answer:

-6 2/9

Explanation:

Given the expression:

$-4\frac{5}{9}+(-1\frac{2}{3})$

First, open the brackets:

$=-4\frac{5}{9}-1\frac{2}{3}$

Next, change the fractions to improper fractions:

$=-\frac{41}{9}-\frac{5}{3}$

Then, take the lowest common multiple of 9 and 3 to combine the fractions:

$\begin{gathered} =\frac{-41-5(3)}{9} \\ =\frac{-41-15}{9} \\ =\frac{-56}{9} \\ =-6\frac{2}{9} \end{gathered}$

The result is -6 2/9.
