Question

Rewrite each mixed number as a sum of two signed numbers.

Answer 1

we have a mixed fraction, and we are asked to rewrite it as the sum of two signed numbers, to do that let's remember that a mixed fraction is equivalent to the following:

`A(m)/(n)=A+(m)/(n)`

For the mixed fraction 3 1/5, we can rewrite it as:

`3(1)/(5)=3+(1)/(5)`

For the mixed fraction -7 3/8, we can rewrite it as:

`-7(3)/(8)=-7+(3)/(8)`
