Simplify negative 5 and 1 over 6 − negative 8 and 1 over 2

Hi there!

Your answer is;

17/6 OR 2 & 5/6

Step-by-step explanation:

(-5+1)/6 - (-8+1)/2

First, simplify in parentheses!

-4/6 - -7/2

Next, change the symbol of 7/2 because two negatives make a positive!

-4/6 +7/2

Next, change the denominators so they both have the same

-4/6 + 7/2

× 3/3

-4/6 + 21/6

Simplify!

17/6

OR

2 & 5/6

Hope this helps

2 over 5

step-by-step explanation:

the 2: 3 ratio is the length of the ac segment to the cb segment total length. this implies that the ratio between segment ac length and segment ab length is 2: 5. point c is 2/5 from a to b, so the required fraction is 2/5.

these sign is used to tell weather the number is greater or less than the number   <   or >     but this sign means its equal =
