Question

−
4
. Write the answer as a mixed number with the correct sign.(1 point)

Answer 1

To divide \( 11 \) by \( -4 \):

1. Calculate the division: \[ \frac{11}{-4} = -\frac{11}{4} \]

2. Convert \(-\frac{11}{4}\) into a mixed number:

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

Thus, \(-\frac{11}{4}\) can be expressed as the mixed number: \[ -2 \frac{3}{4} \]

So the answer is: \[ -2 \frac{3}{4} \]
