Answer 3

Apologies for the error in the previous response. Let's try using a different technique to obtain the correct answer.

To subtract mixed numbers, we need to find a common denominator for the fractions.

The common denominator for 11 is also 11.

Let's rewrite the mixed numbers as improper fractions:

-4 5/11 can be written as -49/11

-2 4/11 can be written as -30/11

Now, subtracting the fractions:

-49/11 - 30/11 = (-49 - 30)/11 = -79/11

Thus, -4 5/11 - 2 4/11 equals -79/11.
