Question

How do you convert -4 1/2 into a decimal and percent?

Answer 1

`-3.5` & `-350%`

Explanation:

Conversion from fraction to a decimal:
First you have to convert the mixed number into an improper fraction. By doing this you have to multiply the denominator by the whole number and then adding the numerator to the product.

`2*-4+1 =-7` `=-7/2`

Now divide the numerator by the denominator to get the decimal

`-7/2=-3.5`

Conversion from decimal to percent:
This part is simple. All you have to do is multiply the decimal by `100`

`-3.5*100=-350%`

Hope this helps!
