Question

Simplify -8 over 3 divided by -2 over 6

Answer 1

8 is the answer so the reciprocal method is used flip the second one to be 6 over -2 and the multiply straight across to get 48/8 which equals 8

Answer 2

Hi!

To answer this question, first let's write the fractions.


`(-8)/(3) (-2)/(6)`

When you divide fractions, you multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal (an upside down fraction) of the second fraction. The reciprocal of -2/6 is 6/-2. Now multiply.


`(-8)/(3) (6)/(-2) = (-48)/(-6)`

Simplify

-48/-6 = 8

The answer is 8

Hope this helps! :)
