$$\frac{-6}{5}+\frac{8}{3}$$

$\frac{22}{15}\approx 1.466666667$

Fraction $\frac{-6}{5}$ can be rewritten as $-\frac{6}{5}$ by extracting the negative sign.

$$-\frac{6}{5}+\frac{8}{3}$$

Least common multiple of $5$ and $3$ is $15$. Convert $-\frac{6}{5}$ and $\frac{8}{3}$ to fractions with denominator $15$.

$$-\frac{18}{15}+\frac{40}{15}$$

Since $-\frac{18}{15}$ and $\frac{40}{15}$ have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{-18+40}{15}$$

Add $-18$ and $40$ to get $22$.

$$\frac{22}{15}$$

$\frac{2 \cdot 11}{3 \cdot 5} = 1\frac{7}{15} = 1.4666666666666666$
