Write -3.5 as the ratio of two integers

Answer 1

The answeris -35/10

Explanation:

• The goal here is to essentially turn -3.5 as a ratio (in this case a fraction) that has both terms (the numerator and denominatior) as integers (ex 2 becomes 2/1 since 2 and 1 are integers)

1. Turn -3.5 into a whole number by moving the decimal point to the right once (by doing this we are multiplying by 10) to get negative 35. 35 will be our first integer
2. Find a way that when divided equals the number we started with to do that you can divide -35 by 10 or -35/10 to get our answer. The point is that the second term is supposed to be the dividend to get our quotant. The final answer is -35/10.
