Answer:
−7 2/3
Step-by-step explanation:
You need to simplify both of the fractions before doing the math.
Step 1
Simplify!
-16/3 - 7/3
Step 2
Very lucky you! The denominators are the same! No making edits to fractions. Just subtract.
-16/3 - 7/3 = -23/3
BUT ITS NOT THE ANSWER
You need to turn it into a mixed number.
Step 3
Divide -23 by 3. INCLUDE REMAINDERS!
-7 r2
Step 4
Place the 2 in the numerator, and the -7 is the number! Nothing happens to 3.
-7 2/3
Thus, −5 1/3−2 1/3 = -7 2/3.
