Divide 11 by −4

Question

. Write the answer as a mixed number with the correct sign.

Answer 1

To divide 11 by -4, you can perform the division first and then express the result as a mixed number.

1. Divide 11 by -4: \[ 11 ÷ -4 = -\frac{11}{4} \]

2. Now, to convert \(-\frac{11}{4}\) into a mixed number, divide 11 by 4.

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

So, \(-\frac{11}{4}\) can be expressed as: \[ -2 \frac{3}{4} \]

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