Simlify the fraction negative 60 over 22?

Answer 1

-60/22.

Since both numbers are even they will cancel down by '2'

Hence

-30/11

As '11' is a Prime number it will not cancel down any further. So divide by '11'.

Hence

-2 remainder '8'

The remainder '8' is placed over the '11' to make the fraction '8/11'

Hence the answer is '-2 8/11', as a simplified mixed fraction.

NB Notice the negative remains.

Answer 2

60/22 = 30/11 or 2.7272 (repeating)
