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

$-\frac{7}{12}\approx -0.583333333$

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

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

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

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

Add $-9$ and $2$ to get $-7$.

$$-\frac{7}{12}$$

$-\frac{7}{12} = -0.5833333333333334$
