Question

Evaluate and simplify the following complex fraction

Answer 1

`(24)/(5)`

Explanation:

To evaluate division of fractions, that is

`(9)/(-5)` ÷
`(-3)/(8)`

Leave the first fraction, change division to multiplication and turn the second fraction upside down

`(9)/(-5)` ×
`(8)/(-3)` ( cancel the 9 and 3) giving

`(3)/(-5)` ×
`(8)/(-1)`

=
`(3(8))/(-5(-1))` =
`(24)/(5)`
