Write \(-90.85\) as a mixed number in simplest form.

Well, -90 would obviously be the whole number. So, − 90 u nkn o w n u nkn o w n ​ .
And now, 85 would be a part, so that would be the numerator. The last number of 85, 5, is in the hundredth place, so the denominator would be 100.
Which would get us, − 90 100 85 ​
Now simplify. 5 can go into both numbers.
85/5 = 17 100/5 = 20
So you get 20 17 ​
Your final answer is − 90 20 17 ​
