Answer:
To find the result of 2.4 divided by -0.06, we need to use the following steps:
Step 1: Change the division problem into a multiplication problem by flipping the divisor and multiplying by its reciprocal.
-0.06 ÷ 2.4 = -0.06 x 1/(2.4)
Step 2: To find the reciprocal of 2.4, we need to divide 1 by 2.4
1/(2.4) = 0.416666666666667
Step 3: Multiply the original dividend (2.4) by the reciprocal of the divisor (0.416666666666667)
2.4 x 0.416666666666667 = -0.1
So, 2.4 divided by -0.06 is equal to -0.1
It's worth noting that -0.1 is a negative number which makes sense since the divisor is negative, hence the result is the opposite of the result when dividing by a positive number.
