Answer 3

yes, when you multiply a couple numbers, the result will be negative if there are odd negatives, and positive, if there are even negatives.

For example
\[2 \times (-3)=-6~~~~~~~~~~~and~~~~~~~~~~(-4)\times(-1)=4\]

Answer 6

Way 1.

put the mixed numbers, in a form of an improper fraction, and then ADD/SUBTRACT.

\(\LARGE\color{blue}{ \bf 3\frac{2 }{3}=\frac{(3 \times 3)+2 }{3} =\frac{11 }{3} }\)
\(\LARGE\color{blue}{ \bf 5\frac{1 }{6}=\frac{(5 \times 6)+1 }{6} =\frac{31 }{6} }\)

then subtract

\(\LARGE\color{blue}{ \bf \frac{11 }{3} - \frac{31 }{6} }\)

\(\LARGE\color{blue}{ \bf \frac{22 }{6} - \frac{31 }{6} }\)

\(\LARGE\color{blue}{ \bf \frac{-9 }{6} }\)

\(\LARGE\color{blue}{ \bf -1\frac{3 }{6} }\)

\(\LARGE\color{blue}{ \bf -1\frac{1 }{2} }\)
