Sagot :

The answer to this would be 3/8.

you just simplify the given terms, so -1 7/8 can be simplified into -15/8 and 2 1/4 can be simplified into 9/4, add those together to get a sum of 3 over 8 or 3/8.

Good Luck

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex] - 1 \frac{7}{8} + 2 \frac{1}{4} \\ = - \frac{15}{8} + \frac{9}{4} \\ = - \frac{15}{8} + \frac{9 \times 2}{4 \times 2} \\ = \frac{ - 15 + 18}{8} \\ = \frac{3}{8} \\ = 0.375[/tex]
