$$\frac{-1}{6}-\frac{3}{4}$$

$-\frac{11}{12}\approx -0.916666667$

Fraction $\frac{-1}{6}$ can be rewritten as $-\frac{1}{6}$ by extracting the negative sign.

$$-\frac{1}{6}-\frac{3}{4}$$

Least common multiple of $6$ and $4$ is $12$. Convert $-\frac{1}{6}$ and $\frac{3}{4}$ to fractions with denominator $12$.

$$-\frac{2}{12}-\frac{9}{12}$$

Since $-\frac{2}{12}$ and $\frac{9}{12}$ have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$\frac{-2-9}{12}$$

Subtract $9$ from $-2$ to get $-11$.

$$-\frac{11}{12}$$

$-\frac{11}{12} = -0.9166666666666666$
