Tommy writes −414 as a fraction using the same method he knows for positive mixed numbers. His work is shown:

Answer 1

Answer: The required fraction would be
`-4(1)/(4)=(-17)/(4)`

Explanation:

Since we have given that

-414 as mixed number,

It should be written as

`-4(1)/(4)`

When we write it as improper fraction, it will be look as

`-(4* 4+1)/(4)=-(16+1)/(4)=(-17)/(4)`

Hence, the required fraction would be

`-4(1)/(4)=(-17)/(4)`
