What's -3 minus 1/4(1/8)? Like, negative 3 minus one-forth times one-eighth. So, you would have to multiply 4 and one-eighth to get an answer and then idk the rest.
+130514 So, we have
-3 - (1/4)(1/8)
Remember, we must carry out any multiplications before we carry out any subtractions. So, multiplying the two fractions together, we have
-3 - (1/32)
Note that this is the same thing as
- (3 + 1/32)
And converting the mixed number to an improper fraction, we have
- (97/32) = -97/32
And that's it.....
+118723 Why would you want to convert it to an improper fraction Chris?
I think this question could be better demonstrated on a number line.
maybe I'll get up to organising it one day!
the answer is just
$$-3\frac{1}{32}$$
