Question 1:

We are going to add.

1/5 + 1/2

2/10 + 5/10

7/10

Note that we are going DOWN so the number will be negative.

Therefore, the answer is A.) -7/10

Question 2:

We are going to subtract.

4 1/2 - 1 2/3

9/2 - 5/3

27/6 - 10/6

17/6 or 2 5/6

Note that we are still BELOW sea level so the number will be negative.

Therefore, the answer is C.) -2 5/6

Question 3:

We are going to subtract.

2 2/3 - 1 1/5

8/3 - 6/5

40/15 - 18/15

22/15 or 1 7/15

Therefore, the answer is B.) 1 7/15

Best of Luck!
