Question

-1 1/3 + (-4 2/3)= ?

Answer 1

To solve this problem, we need to combine the whole numbers and fractions separately.

First, let's combine the whole numbers:

-1 + (-4) = -5

Next, let's combine the fractions:

1/3 + 2/3 = 3/3 = 1 (since the denominators are the same, we simply add the numerators)

So, the combined fraction is 1.

Putting the whole numbers and the fraction together, we have:

-5 + 1 = -4

Therefore, -1 1/3 + (-4 2/3) equals -4.
