Question

Without dividing explain how the quotient of 1/8 divided by 3/5 and (-1/8) divided by (-3/5) compare

Answer 1

`\begin{gathered} \text{Quotient = }(1)/(8)\text{ }(.)/(.)\text{ }(3)/(5) \\ =\text{ }(1)/(8)\text{ }*\text{ }(5)/(3) \\ =\text{ }(5)/(24) \\ \text{Quotient = }(-1)/(8)\text{ }(.)/(.)\text{ }(-3)/(5) \\ =\text{ }(-1)/(8)\text{ }*\text{ }(5)/(-3) \\ =\text{ }(-5)/(-24) \\ =\text{ }(5)/(24) \end{gathered}`

The quotients of both are equal.
