Answer:

2  2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

-2 1/3 - ( - 5)

We are subtracting a negative which is like adding

-2 1/3 + (  5)

The signs are different so we subtract and take the sign of the larger

5 - 2 1/3

Borr from the 5

4 3/3 - 2 1/3

2 2/3

The sign of the larger was positive so the answer is positive

2 2/3
