How do you make a negative improper fraction into a mixed number?

Answer 1

To convert a negative improper fraction into a mixed number, you first divide the numerator by the denominator to get the whole number part. The remainder becomes the new numerator, while the denominator remains the same. For example, to convert -7/3, you divide -7 by 3 to get -2 with a remainder of -1, so the mixed number is -2 1/3.

Answer 2

To convert an improper fraction to a mixed number, divide the denominator into the numerator. The answer is the whole number. Put any remainder over the original denominator to create the fraction part. The sign stays the same.

Answer 3

You do it the same way as you would a positive improper fraction and then put a minus sign in front.
