Whats The Answer And the Steps to Get the answer

The answer is 1 7/8. I got this by first looking at the two negatives. Negative times a negative is always a positive.So if you would write this expression again it would look like: -3 1/4 + 5 1/8
Now you find the common denominator which is 8. Convert -3 1/4 to have a denominator of 8: -3 2/8
Now you can convert both of those fractions into improper fractions: -26/8+41/8
Compute: 15/8
You can either leave your answer like that or you can change it into a mixed fraction :
1 7/8
