I need the answer to 26. And 27. Please

Answer 1

Below in bold.

Explanation:

26.

First convert each mixed number to an improper fraction:

-12 2/3 = -38/3

- 1 1/9 = -10/9

-38/3 = -10/9 * y

y = -38/3 / -10/9

y = -38/3 * -9/10

= -38 * -3 / 10

= 114/10

= 57/5

= 11 2/5.

27,

1 5/7 = 1 13/14 a

12/7 = 27/14 a

a = 12/7 / 27/14

= 12/7 * 14/27

= 24/27

= 8/9.
