Answer: No

Explanation:

      Since 7 goes into 10 once, we can subtract 7 from 10 and see what the remainder is.

10 - 7 = 3.

      Knowing that, our mixed number ("mixed fraction") will look like this:

-1 [tex]\frac{3}{7}[/tex]

      We can now answer the question,

Does -1 [tex]\frac{3}{7}[/tex]  = -3 [tex]\frac{1}{7}[/tex]?

   No, -1 [tex]\frac{3}{7}[/tex]  ≠ -3 [tex]\frac{1}{7}[/tex].
