Hi there! Your answer is going to be 1 7/10.

Step-by-step explanation: You have to remove the negative sign, then convert the positive decimal number to a positive fraction. Apply the negative sign to the fraction answer. Rewrite the decimal number as a fraction with 1 in the denominator. Multiply to remove 1 decimal places. Here, you multiply top and bottom by 10^1 = 10 1.7/1×10/10=17/10.

Hope this helps! Have a good day!
