to convert a fraction to a decimal, like say a/b is really simply the quotient of a ÷ b.

now, let's first convert the mixed fraction to improper, and then do the division.

$\bf \stackrel{mixed}{5\frac{5}{16}}\implies \cfrac{5\cdot 16+5}{16}\implies \stackrel{improper}{\cfrac{85}{16}}\\\\[-0.35em] \rule{31em}{0.25pt}\\\\ \cfrac{85}{16}\implies 85\div 16\implies 5.3125$

Step-by-step explanation:

Solution

It is assumed that when a number is positive, it is a distance to the right, also when a number is negative, it is a distance to the left. If a positive number is referred to as deposit to a bank account, then a negative number is a withdrawal from that bank account.

So, If a positive number means addition, then a negative number would also mean subtraction.

The amount that represents a withdrawal of less than $200 would be (-$200)
