To add -1 1/3 and -4 2/3, we first need to convert the mixed numbers into improper fractions.
-1 1/3 can be written as -4/3.
-4 2/3 can be written as -14/3.
Now, we can add the fractions:
-4/3 + (-14/3)
To add the fractions, we need a common denominator, which in this case is 3.
-4/3 and -14/3 already have the same denominators, so we can add the numerators:
(-4 + -14)/3
-18/3
Simplifying the fraction, we divide -18 by 3:
-6
Therefore, -1 1/3 + (-4 2/3) is equal to -6.
Add -1 1/3+(-4 2/3)
