Question

Hello. I really need some help here. EASY math. Can you guys explain how to convert negative fractions and mixed numbers to decimals? That would be VERY helpful. Thank you! : )

Answer 1

use a calculator

Answer 2

Explanation:

For example, if you had 2 3/4, you would change the mixed number into an improper fraction. That would equal 11/4 (4 times 2 is 8 and 8 + 3 is 11). Then, you would divide 11 by 4, which equals 2.75 (2 and 75 hundredths).

For negative fractions, you would take the numerator divided by the denominator (3/4= 3 divided by 4= 0.75). You would then put the negative sign in front of the decimal.
