Question

What is 4 11/12 divided by -4 1/6?

Answer 1

To get the result first we have to transform those fraction into improper fraction.

`4 (11)/(12)= (4*12+11)/(12)= (59)/(12)`

`-4 (1)/(6) =- (4*6+1)/(6)=- (25)/(6)`
We know that if we want to divide 2 fraction we can multiply first by inverse of second fraction. Lets do this

`(59)/(12):- (25)/(6)= (59)/(12)*- (6)/(25) =- (59*6)/(12*25)=- (354)/(300)=- (59)/(30)=-1 (29)/(30)` - its the answer
