Change -3 1/4 to a fraction in the form a/b where a and b are integers.

Answer 1

-3 1/4 = -13/4

multiply 4 times 3, to get 12, then add 1 to get 13

multiply the denominator 4 by the integer 3 then add the numerator

or 3 1/4 = 3.25 = 3.25(4)/4 = 13/4

stick the negative sign back in at the end. It doesn't change. -13/4
