Answer:
[tex]-1 \frac{2}{3}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
To answer we want to get them both into improper fractions:
3 1/3 = 3 x 3 = 9 + 1 = 10/3
\/
5 = 5/1
&
10/3 - 5/1
Now we need a common denominator:
10/3 - 5/1
\/
10/3 - 15/3
Now we can subtract:
[tex]\frac{10 - 15}{3} = \frac{-5}{3}[/tex]
Now we want to turn -5/3 into a mixed number:
3 goes into 5 one time (negative doesn't matter currently) and there is 2 left over. This leaves us with 1 2/3, add on the negative and we get a final answer of [tex]-1 \frac{2}{3}[/tex]
Hope this helps, have a nice day :)
