Convert to an improper fraction. Type in your answer with the negative in the numerator.

Question

-8 3/4

Answer 1

To convert the mixed number \(-8 \frac{3}{4}\) to an improper fraction, follow these steps:

1. Convert the whole number to an improper fraction:

   • Multiply the whole number \(-8\) by the denominator \(4\): \[ -8 \times 4 = -32 \]
   • Add the numerator \(3\): \[ -32 + 3 = -29 \]

2. Write as an improper fraction:

   • The result is \(-29\) in the numerator over the original denominator \(4\): \[ \frac{-29}{4} \]

Thus, \(-8 \frac{3}{4}\) as an improper fraction is \(\frac{-29}{4}\).
