Answer:
-30 5/6
Step-by-step explanation:
You are adding two negative numbers, so add their absolute values and make the answer negative.
-28 1/3 + (-2 1/2) =
= -(28 1/3 + 2 1/2)
We add the absolute values 28 1/3 and 2 1/2. We need a common denominator for the fractions. The LCD of 2 and 3 is 6.
= -(28 + 2 + 1/3 + 1/2)
= -(30 + 2/6 + 3/5)
= -(30 5/6)
= -30 5/6
