Answer 1

I assume this reads (-2 1/3)-(|52|*(-1/3)+82). Assuming |52| is the absolute value of 52, we can simply write this as 52. Convert -2 1/3 to an improper fraction: -7/3. The contents of the brackets evaluates to -52/3+82=(-52+246)/3=194/3, because multiplication takes priority over addition. The expression becomes -7/3-194/3=-(7+194)/3=-201/3=-67.
