Question

Divide. −2 4/7 Enter your answer as a mixed number, in simplified form, in the box.

Answer 1

Answer:
-3 $\frac{3}{7}$ 

Explanation:
$\frac{-24}{7}$ = -3 $\frac{3}{7}$ 
So first make the improper fraction into a mixed number by taking out all the whole numbers from the numerator (3) and making sure the proper sign is in front of the answer (- 3) your remainder is the original numerator minus the product of the answer times the denominator: 24 - (3 • 7) = 24 - 21 = 3. Rewrite the mixed number.
