<p>The fraction -5/2 is an example of an improper fraction, since the numerator's absolute value is greater than the denominator. This signifies that the fraction's value is less than -1. We change these kinds of fractions into mixed numbers, which consist of a whole number and a proper fraction, to make them easier to grasp or utilize in everyday life. Let's convert -5/2 into a mixed number so that we can understand how many whole parts and what fraction remains.</p>

<p>Since the original fraction is negative, the mixed number is also negative.</p>
15
<p>Since the original fraction is negative, the mixed number is also negative.</p>

<p>Here, whole number (quotient) = -2 Numerator (remainder) = 1 Denominator = 2</p>
16
<p>Here, whole number (quotient) = -2 Numerator (remainder) = 1 Denominator = 2</p>
10
<p>So, -5/2 = -2 1/2</p>
17
<p>So, -5/2 = -2 1/2</p>
