Answer:
-1 2/3
Step-by-step explanation:
Convert to a mixed number:
-5/3
Divide 5 by 3:
3 | 5
3 goes into 5 at most one time:
| 1
3 | 5
- | 3
| 2
Read off the results. The quotient is the number at the top and the remainder is the number at the bottom:
| 1 | (quotient)
3 | 5 |
- | 3 |
| 2 | (remainder)
The quotient of 5/3 is 1 with remainder 2, so:
Answer: -1 2/3
