17
-5 5/8
17 - 5 5/8 = 136/8 - 45/8 = 91/8 = ?
This is easy, now you need to do the opposite of what you did when you multiplied the whole number by the denominator to get the fraction 45/8... therefore divide 91 (numerator) by 8 (denominator) to get 11 (8 x 11 = 88) how ever many you have left over is left as a fraction n/8... so: 91 divided by 8 = 11 so that leaves us with 3 remaining because 91-88 = 3 just simply make that the fraction left over: 3/8. Final answer is 11 3/8. Make sense?
It looks like you've provided two numbers: 17 and -5 5/8.
The first number, 17, is an integer. It is a whole number without any fractional or decimal parts.
The second number, -5 5/8, is a mixed number. It consists of a whole number part (-5) and a fractional part (5/8).
To fully understand and work with the second number, we can convert it into an improper fraction. Here's how you can do that:
Step 1: Multiply the whole number (-5) by the denominator of the fractional part (8).
-5 * 8 = -40
Step 2: Add the result from Step 1 to the numerator (5) of the fractional part.
-40 + 5 = -35
Step 3: Write the sum from Step 2 as the numerator of the improper fraction, keeping the denominator (8) unchanged.
So, -5 5/8 can be written as -35/8.
Now let's summarize the numbers you provided:
- The first number is 17.
- The second number can be rewritten as -35/8.
