Answer:

-39

Explanation:

Simplify the following:

36/((-12)/13)

Multiply the numerator of 36/((-12)/13) by the reciprocal of the denominator. 36/((-12)/13) = (36×13)/(-12):

(36×13)/(-12)

The gcd of 36 and -12 is 12, so (36×13)/(-12) = ((12×3) 13)/(12 (-1)) = 12/12×(3×13)/(-1) = (3×13)/(-1):

(3×13)/(-1)

3×13 = 39:

39/(-1)

Multiply numerator and denominator of 39/(-1) by -1:

Answer: -39
