Question 109595

    {{{-1&1/3}}} Start with the given mixed number


    {{{3*1=3}}} Multiply the denominator 3 by the whole number 1 (ignore the negative sign) to get 3


    {{{3+1=4}}}. Add 3 to the numerator 1 to get 4. This final result is the new numerator


    {{{-4/3}}} Place the new numerator over the same denominator. Now place the negative back in.


    So the mixed number {{{-1&1/3}}} is equivalent to the improper fraction {{{-4/3}}}
