how do you multiply and divide MIXED FRACTIONS THAT ARE NEGATIVE

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Do you know how to do it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

obviously not thats why i asked

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

I think you mean to say `mixed numbers` the first step is to convert any `mixed numbers` to an improper fraction

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay no reason to get sassy.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what if there is

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

for example \[\Large 2 \frac{1}{3} = {\color{red}{2}} \frac{{\color{blue}{1}}}{{\color{green}{3}}}\] \[\Large 2 \frac{1}{3} = \frac{{\color{red}{2}}*{\color{green}{3}}+{\color{blue}{1}}}{{\color{green}{3}}}\] \[\Large 2 \frac{1}{3} = \frac{6+1}{3}\] \[\Large 2 \frac{1}{3} = \frac{7}{3}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

maybe that will help

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

let me know if that helps or not. If you want, you can post the full problem so we can go over it step by step
