To add the fractions, first find a common denominator.

The common denominator for the fractions 1/6 and 3/4 is 24.

Converting 1/6 to have a denominator of 24, it becomes 4/24.

Converting 3/4 to have a denominator of 24, it becomes 18/24.

Now we can add the fractions:

-3 1/6 + 5 3/4 = -3 + 5 + 4/24 + 18/24

Simplifying the whole numbers:

-3 + 5 = 2

Adding the fractions:

2 + 4/24 + 18/24 = 2 + (4 + 18)/24 = 2 + 22/24

Since both 22 and 24 are divisible by 2, we simplify the fraction:

2 + 22/24 = 2 + 11/12

Therefore, -3 1/6 + 5 3/4 is equal to 2 11/12 as a mixed number.
