Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To convert $-4\frac{3}{5}$ to an improper fraction, multiply the whole number part by the denominator of the fractional part and add the numerator of the fractional part. Thus, $(-4 \times 5) + 3 = -20 + 3 = -23$, making the fraction $\frac{-23}{5}$.

- −435- 4 \frac { 3 } { 5 }−453​

- $- 4 \frac { 3 } { 5 }$
