To convert $-4\frac{3}{5}$ to an improper fraction, multiply the whole number part by the denominator of the fractional part and add the numerator of the fractional part. This gives $4 \times 5 + 3 = 20 + 3 = 23$, making the fraction $\frac{-23}{5}$.

- −435- 4 \frac { 3 } { 5 }−453​

- $- 4 \frac { 3 } { 5 }$
