Answer 1

Answer: The required fraction would be $-4\dfrac{1}{4}=\dfrac{-17}{4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

-414 as mixed number,

It should be written as

$-4\dfrac{1}{4}$

When we write it as improper fraction, it will be look as

$-\dfrac{4\times 4+1}{4}=-\dfrac{16+1}{4}=\dfrac{-17}{4}$

Hence, the required fraction would be

$-4\dfrac{1}{4}=\dfrac{-17}{4}$
