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

Answer 1

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

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

Now, we can convert \(-\frac{11}{4}\) into a mixed number.

1. Divide 11 by 4:
   • 4 goes into 11 two times (because \(4 \times 2 = 8\)).
   • The remainder is \(11 - 8 = 3\).

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

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

So the answer is:

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