To solve this problem, we need to convert the mixed numbers to improper fractions and then perform the addition.
-3 5/9 can also be written as -32/9.
4 1/9 can be written as 37/9.
Now, we can add the fractions:
-32/9 + 37/9 = (37 - 32)/9 = 5/9.
Finally, we can add the whole numbers:
2 + 5/9 = 18/9 + 5/9 = 23/9.
Therefore, -3 5/9 + 2 - 4 1/9 = 23/9 or 2 5/9.
-3 5/9 + 2 - 4 1/9
