Find the sum of -4 5/6 and -7 3/4.

Solution:

Given, the numbers are -4 5/6 and -7 3/4

We have to find the sum of the given numbers.

4 5/6 = [4(6) + 5]/6

= (24 + 5)/6

= 29/6

7 3/4 = [7(4) + 3]/4

= (28 + 3)/4

= 31/4

-4 5/6 + (-7 3/4) = -29/6 + (-31/4)

= -[29(4) + 31(6)]/6(4)

= -[116 + 186]/24

= -302/24

= -151/12

Therefore, the sum is -151/12
