Given the numerical values 

-⅓ + (-7/4)

Solution:

In order to easily solve the problem, simply change the fraction into decimals.

-⅓ =-0.3333(repeating)

-7/4 = -1.75

Now we can easily add the given values.

= -0.3333 + (-1.75)

=- 0.3333 - 1.75

= -2.08333333 (repeating)

Since we have a repeating answer, we can either round it or designate the repeating word.

Final answer:

= -2.08333333 (repeating) or -2.08
