Given the equation:
-36/-8
Solution:
In order to write the fraction to mixed number, we must equate it first into decimal by dividing the numerator with the denominator.
= -36/-8
= 4.5
To change to mixed number, we exclude first the whole number and focus on the decimal part. Treat the decimal as a whole number, then divide it by its place value, in our case we divide 5 by 10.
= 5/10
= ½
Put 4 to the front of the equation.
= 4 ½
Final answer:
= 4 ½
