-2 3/4 - 9/10
make -2 3/4 into a improper fraction
-5/4-9/10
find common denominator
-25/20-18/20
subtract numerators
-43/20
or
-2 (3/20)

but you have to make it into an improper fraction and to do that you have to multiply the denominator by the single number and add the numerator
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ya so its -11/4
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Thank you Mr.t
OpenStudy (anonymous):
-11/4-9/10

-2 3/4 so negative 2x4=8+3 equals 11 with a denominator of 4
OpenStudy (anonymous):
a negative plus a positive is really subtraction....
-2(4)=-8+3=-5
how do you get rid of your negative?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
sorry its still a negative so its -11/4
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Ok..... I guess that works
-11/4 - 9/10
-55/20-18/20=-73/20
simplify
-3 (13/20)
still isn't one of your answers
OpenStudy (anonymous):
YES YES IT IS THANKYOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
