Answer:
[tex]-\frac{8}{5} = -1\frac{3}{5}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex]1 \frac{4}{5} = \frac{9}{5}[/tex]
[tex]-3 \frac{4}{10} = -\frac{34}{10} = -\frac{17}{5}[/tex]
Multiply the whole number by the denominator and add that to the numerator. I simplified [tex]-\frac{34}{10}[/tex] by dividing by two getting [tex]-\frac{17}{5}[/tex]. Then add [tex]\frac{9}{5}[/tex] and [tex]-\frac{17}{5}[/tex] together. Then put [tex]-\frac{8}{5}[/tex] into a mixed fraction. How many times does 5 go into 8 and what is the remainder? The answer is -1 times and the remainder is 3. The mixed fraction is [tex]-1 \frac{3}{5}[/tex].
