Question

-5/4 into a mixed number

Help me pls

Answer 1

-1
`(1)/(4)`

Explanation:

We can think of 5/4 as 4/4 + 1/4.

Since 4/4 is equal to 1, we can change this to 1 + 1/4

This can be simplified to 1
`(1)/(4)`.

Add a negative sign since the number is negative:

-1
`(1)/(4)` is the mixed number
