Divide 11 by −4 . Write the answer as a mixed number with the correct sign.

Answer 1

To divide 11 by -4, we can start by performing the division:

\[ \frac{11}{-4} = -\frac{11}{4} \]

Next, we can convert \(-\frac{11}{4}\) into a mixed number. First, we divide 11 by 4:

• 4 goes into 11 two times (since \(4 \times 2 = 8\)).
• The remainder is \(11 - 8 = 3\).

Thus, we can express \(-\frac{11}{4}\) as:

\[ -2 \frac{3}{4} \]

So the final answer, as a mixed number with the correct sign, is:

\[ -2 \frac{3}{4} \]
