For problems like this, I like to write the mixed numbers as improper fractions, while remembering that numbers like -2 3/4 are (-1)(2 + 3/4): 


-2 3/4 - (-3 5/6) =  -11/4 + 23/6 



and then you need to put them over a common denominator (in this case, 12):



 =  -33/12 + 46/12 

 =  13/12

 =   1 1/12 

or about 1.0833333
