How do I convert the fraction -4pi/3 into a positive fraction?

OpenStudy (sunnnystrong):

\[\frac{ -4 \pi }{ 3 }\] hmmmmmm

OpenStudy (goldie1962):

Yea i have no idea

OpenStudy (sunnnystrong):

you can multiply by -1... but yeah idk is there more to the question? because -4pi/3 is not equivalent to 4pi/3

OpenStudy (goldie1962):

Nope there isn't.

OpenStudy (sunnnystrong):

yeah who knows. i would say just multiply by negative one.

OpenStudy (goldie1962):

The answer choices are 5pi/6 and 2pi/3.

OpenStudy (sunnnystrong):

The question is actually asking you to find a positive angle which is co-terminal with the given angle. So just spin forward a full rotation, 2pi.

OpenStudy (sshayer):

otherwise add 2 pi youget2 pi/3

zepdrix (zepdrix):

-4pi/3 + 2pi

OpenStudy (goldie1962):

Oh yes i forgot about co-terminal angles. Thank you!!

OpenStudy (goldie1962):

The answer is 2pi/3. Thanks soo soo much!!
