Question

What is the answer to this? −4 1/2÷(−2 2/3) (it has to be a mixed number)

Answer 1

The Answer is 1 11/16

Answer 2

Here is you're answer:

In order to solve this equation you must first change the mixed numbers into improper fractions then use KCF. (Keep, Change, Flip)

• 
  `-4(1)/(2) / -2(2)/(3)`
• Change into improper fractions:
• 
  `-4(1)/(2) =(-9)/(2)`
• 
  `-2(2)/(3) = (-8)/(3)`
• 
  `(-9)/(2) / (-8)/(3)`
• Apply KCF:
• 
  `(-9)/(2) * (-3)/(8)`
• Now multiply:
• 
  `(-9)/(2) * (-3)/(8) = (27)/(16)`
• Remember that a negative times a negative is a positive:
• 
  `= (27)/(16)`
• Change into a mixed number:
• 
  `(27)/(16) = 1(11)/(16)`
• 
  `= 1(11)/(16)`

Therefore you're answer is "1 11/16."

Hope this helps!
