Question

six and one fifth plus negitive four and three fourths equals

Answer 1

\[6\frac{ 1 }{5 }+(-4\frac{ 3 }{ 4 })\]

Answer 2

so your equation will look like this right?

6 1/5 + (- 4 3/4)

I like to get them in to improper fractions. It's easier to work with them

31/5 + (- 19/4) which is the same as 31/5 - 19/4

now find a common denominator -> 20

31 * 4 = 124, 5*4 = 20

19*5 = 95, 4*5 = 20

124/20 - 95/20 = 28/20 simplify -> 7/5

now put it back into a mixed number

1 3/5
