Question

Write -42/9 mixed in a reduced form

Answer 1

Answer:
–4 2/3

Explanation:
To make –42/9 into a mixed number, you need to divide –42 by 9.
–42 ÷ 9 = –4.66666, so the mixed number starts with –4.
–4 • 9 = –36
–42 – –36 = 6
So the mixed number is now –4 6/9
To reduce it, you simplify:
–4 6/9 = –4 2/3

Answer 2

-42/9 = -4 6/9 = -4 2/3
