How do you change negative numerator of improper fraction into mixed number?
You put the minus sign to one side, convert the improper fraction to a mixed fraction and then put the negative sign back. So for -5/3: 5/3 = 12/3 so that -5/3 = -12/3 This is because -12/3 is the additive inverse (or negative) of 12/3, it is not "-1 plus 2/3".

What is the rule for determining the sign of the product of two fractions?
It is the same as determining the sign of the product of two integers;+ x + = ++ x - = -- x + = -- x - = +ORIf only positive numbers are multiplied, the result is positive.If positive and an even number of negative numbers (for example, + x - x -) are multiplied, the result is positive.If positive and an odd number of negative numbers (for example, + x + x -) are multiplied, the result is negative.If an even number of negative numbers (for example, - x -) are multiplied, the result is positive.If an odd number of negative numbers (for example, - x - x -) are multiplied, the result is negative.Remember the rule:Product of a positive and a positive fraction is always positive.Product of a positive and a negative fraction is always negative.Product of a negative and a positive fraction is always negative.Product of a negative and a negative fraction is always positive.Examples:½ * ¼ = 1/8½ * -¼ = -1/8-½ * ¼ = -1/8-½ * -¼ = 1/8Source: www.icoachmath.com
