-2-5/8

To subtract \( \frac{5}{8} \) from \(-2\), you can first convert \(-2\) into a fraction with a denominator of 8.

1. Convert \(-2\) to have a denominator of 8: \[ -2 = -\frac{16}{8} \]

2. Now, subtract \(\frac{5}{8}\): \[ -\frac{16}{8} - \frac{5}{8} = -\frac{16 + 5}{8} = -\frac{21}{8} \]

Thus, \(-2 - \frac{5}{8}\) equals \(-\frac{21}{8}\).

If you want it as a mixed number: \(-\frac{21}{8}\) can be expressed as \(-2 \frac{5}{8}\) (since \(-21\) divided by \(8\) gives \(-2\) with a remainder of \(-5\)).

So the final answer is: \[ -\frac{21}{8} \quad \text{or} \quad -2 \frac{5}{8} \]
