$$-\frac{8}{9}+(-1\frac{2}{3})$$

$-\frac{23}{9}\approx -2.555555556$

Multiply $1$ and $3$ to get $3$.

$$-\frac{8}{9}-\frac{3+2}{3}$$

Add $3$ and $2$ to get $5$.

$$-\frac{8}{9}-\frac{5}{3}$$

Least common multiple of $9$ and $3$ is $9$. Convert $-\frac{8}{9}$ and $\frac{5}{3}$ to fractions with denominator $9$.

$$-\frac{8}{9}-\frac{15}{9}$$

Since $-\frac{8}{9}$ and $\frac{15}{9}$ have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$\frac{-8-15}{9}$$

Subtract $15$ from $-8$ to get $-23$.

$$-\frac{23}{9}$$

$-\frac{23}{9} = -2\frac{5}{9} = -2.5555555555555554$
