Answer: -19/8
What is an improper fraction?
An improper fraction is where the numerator is greater than the denominator. To turn -2 3/8 into an improper fraction, we will "combine" -2 and 3/8.
First, we will find what -2 becomes. -2 is the same as two wholes:
-2 * 8 = -16
Next, we will subtract this into the numerator of the fraction:
-16 - 3 = -19
Lastly, we will put this new numerator over the denominator:
-2 3/8 = -19/8
