Studdy Solution
Finally, we convert the improper fraction $\frac{-17}{4}$ to a mixed number. An improper fraction is a fraction where the numerator (the top number) is greater than or equal to the denominator (the bottom number). A mixed number has a whole number part and a fractional part.
$$\frac{-17}{4} = -4\frac{1}{4}$$So, $\frac{2}{}-\frac{9}{2} = -4\frac{1}{4}$.
