Answer :

Given the expression:

[tex]-1\frac{4}{5}+(-\frac{1}{4})+(-\frac{1}{5})[/tex]

Let's simplify the expression.

Remove the parentheses:

[tex]-1\frac{4}{5}-\frac{1}{4}-\frac{1}{5}[/tex]

COnvert the first fraction from mixed fraction to improper fraction:

[tex]-\frac{9}{5}-\frac{1}{4}-\frac{1}{5}[/tex]

Now, let's find a common denominator using the Lowest Common Multiple(LCM) of the denominators and evaluate.

LCM of 5, 4, and 5 = 20

Divide the LCM by each denominator and multily by the corresonding numerator.

[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{-36-5-4}{20} \\ \\ =\frac{-45}{20} \\ \\ =-\frac{9}{4} \\ \\ =-2\frac{1}{4} \end{gathered}[/tex]

ANSWER:

[tex]-2\frac{1}{4}[/tex]
