Answer 2

$\large\color{#00FF7F}\boxed{\colorbox{black}{Answer : - }}$

$-2 \frac{ 1 }{ 2 } +4 \frac{ 5 }{ 8 }$

$\color{red}Multiply \: 2 \: and \: 2 \: to \: get \: 4.$

$-\frac{4+1}{2}+\frac{4\times 8+5}{8}$

$\color{navy}Add \: 4 \: and \: 1 \: to \: get \: 5.$

$-\frac{5}{2}+\frac{4\times 8+5}{8}$

$\color{green}Multiply \: 4 \: and \: 8 \: to \: get \: 32.$

$-\frac{5}{2}+\frac{32+5}{8}$

$\color{orange}Add \: 32 \: and \: 5 \: to \: get \: 37.$

$-\frac{5}{2}+\frac{37}{8}$

$\color{brown}Least \: common \: multiple \: of \: \\ \color{brown} 2 \: and \: 8 \: is \: 8. \: Convert \: -\frac{5}{2} \: and \: \frac{37}{8} \\ \color{brown} to \: fractions \: with \: denominator \: 8.$

$-\frac{20}{8}+\frac{37}{8}$

$\color{hotpink}Since \: -\frac{20}{8} \: and \: \frac{37}{8} \: have \: the \: same \\ \color{red}denominator, add \: them \: by \: \\ \color{green}adding \: their \: numerators. \:$

$\frac{-20+37}{8}$

$\color{indigo}Add \: -20 \: and \: 37 \: to \: get \: 17.$

$final \: answer : \frac{17}{8}$

B)

$-1 \frac{ 7 }{ 8 } -(-2 \frac{ 3 }{ 4 } )$

$\color{red}Multiply \: 1 \: and \: \: 8 \: t o \: get \: 8.$

$-\frac{8+7}{8}-\left(-\frac{2\times 4+3}{4}\right)$

$\color{blue}Add \: 8 \: and \: 7 \: to \: get \: 15.$

$-\frac{15}{8}-\left(-\frac{2\times 4+3}{4}\right)$

$\color{green}Multiply \: 2 \: and \: 4 \: to \: get \: 8.$

$-\frac{15}{8}-\left(-\frac{8+3}{4}\right)$

$\color{hotpink}Add \: 8 \: and \: 3 \: to \: get \: 11.$

$-\frac{15}{8}-\left(-\frac{11}{4}\right)$

$\color{orange}The \: opposite \: of \: -\frac{11}{4} \: is \: \frac{11}{4}.$

$-\frac{15}{8}+\frac{11}{4}$

$Least \: common \: multiple \: of \: 8 \\ and \: 4 \: is \: 8. \: Convert \: -\frac{15}{8} \: and \: \frac{11}{4} \\ to \: fractions \: with \: denominator \: 8.$

$-\frac{15}{8}+\frac{22}{8}$

$\color{green}Since \: -\frac{15}{8} \: and \: \frac{22}{8} \: have \: the \: \\ \color{red}same \: denominator, \: add \: them \\ \color{navy}by \: adding \: their \: numerators.$

$\frac{-15+22}{8}$

$\color{indigo}Add \: -15 \: and \: 22 \: to \: get \: 7.$

$final \: answer : \frac{7}{8}$
