Add -1/3+-4 2/3 what's the answer?
To solve the expression -1/3 + (-4 2/3), we need to combine the whole numbers and the fractions separately.
First, let's combine the whole numbers: -4 + (-2) = -6.
Next, let's add the fractions: -1/3 + 2/3 = 1/3.
Combining the whole numbers and fractions, the answer is -6 1/3.
To add -1/3 and -4 2/3, we need to find a common denominator. The common denominator for 3 and 1 is 3.
Next, we need to convert the mixed number, -4 2/3, into an improper fraction. To do this, we multiply the whole number (-4) by the denominator (3) and add the numerator (2). Then we put the result over the denominator.
-4 2/3 can be written as -14/3.
Now we can add the fractions: -1/3 + (-14/3).
To add fractions, the denominators must be the same. As both denominators are 3, we can simply add the numerators.
-1 + (-14) = -15.
So, the answer is -15/3. However, we can simplify this fraction by dividing both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, 3.
-15/3 simplifies to -5.
Therefore, the answer is -5.
