Answer is -2.72 repeating

Step by step. -60/22 is a division problem. We divide -60 by 22.

I used your attachment to do the long division for you. Because the “72” part of your solution will continue infinitely we draw a line over the repeating part.

Answer: -2.72 repeated

Step-by-step explanation: First off, you want to divide 60 by 22 which is 2 and 16/22. Now, you can convert this into a simpler fraction which is 2 and 8/11. 8/11 =.72 repeated. Because the problem was originally -60/22, you add your negative back to the 2. So, it's -2.72 repeated.
