Question

Find f in:f ÷ -2/3 = -1/3

Answer 1

`f\text{ = }(2)/(9)`

Step-by-step explanation

We want to find f in:

`f\text{ }/\text{ -}(2)/(3)\text{ = -}(1)/(3)`

To do that, we multiply both sides by -2/3.

That way, it cancels out the -2/3 on the left hand side and isolates f.

So we have:

`\begin{gathered} f\text{ }/(-(2)/(3))\cdot\text{ (-}(2)/(3))\text{ = -}(1)/(3)\cdot\text{ -}(2)/(3) \\ f\text{ = }(2)/(9) \end{gathered}`

That is the answer.
