Question

write -2 1/4 as a decimal ( with explanation please )

Answer 1

Answer:

-2.25

Step-by-step explanation:

If you want to convert -2$1/4$ to a decimal you will want to split the fraction up to make it easier to work with.

$-2 \frac{1}{4} = -2 + \frac{1}{4}$

$\frac{1}{4}$ is the same 1 divided by 4

So you will do

−2+(1÷4)

1 divide by 4 is 0.25 so you will do

-2+0.25 = -2.25
