Let's see -

Let's solve the first question step-by-step

(WARNING - This may confuse you a little)

1)

4 1/8 + 2 1/3

= 33/8 + 2 1/3

= 33/8 + 7/3

= 155/24

= 6 11/24 --------> Note that this is your final answer and it already looks simplified down to its simplest form. :)

2) This equation, as far as solving it, is no different than number 1. Let's go for it!

5 17/18 - 2 2/3

= 107/18 - 2 2/3

= 107/18 - 8/3

= 59/18

= 3 5/18 -----------------> This is your final answer, and, as before, it looks simplified enough.
