Answer:
It would be an improper fraction a = [tex]\frac{4}{3}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
An improper fraction is when a fraction in which the numerator is greater than the denominator.
[tex] - \frac{1}{2} = - \frac{5}{6} + \frac{1}{4} a \\ \\ \frac{1}{4} a = - \frac{1}{2} + \frac{5}{6} \\ \\ \frac{1}{4} a = - \frac{3}{6} + \frac{5}{6} \\ \\ \frac{1}{4} a = \frac{2}{6} \\ \\ \frac{1}{4} a = \frac{1}{3} \\ \\ a = \frac{4}{3} = 1.33[/tex]
