Solve -32/3+(-1)/4

$$\frac{ -3 \frac{ 2 }{ 3 } +(-1) }{ 4 }$$

Evaluate

$$-\frac{7}{6}\approx -1.166666667$$

Solution Steps

Multiply 3 and 3 to get 9.

$$\frac{-\frac{9+2}{3}-1}{4}$$

Add 9 and 2 to get 11.

$$\frac{-\frac{11}{3}-1}{4}$$

Convert 1 to fraction \frac{3}{3}.

$$\frac{-\frac{11}{3}-\frac{3}{3}}{4}$$

Since -\frac{11}{3} and \frac{3}{3} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$\frac{\frac{-11-3}{3}}{4}$$

Subtract 3 from -11 to get -14.

$$\frac{-\frac{14}{3}}{4}$$

Express \frac{-\frac{14}{3}}{4} as a single fraction.

$$\frac{-14}{3\times 4}$$

Multiply 3 and 4 to get 12.

$$\frac{-14}{12}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{-14}{12} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 2.

$$-\frac{7}{6}$$

Factor

$$-\frac{7}{6} = -1\frac{1}{6} = -1.1666666666666667$$
