Question

Divide -21/5 / -7/-10

Answer 1

Answer: -6

Explanation:

(-21/5) / (-7/-10)

Since there is two negatives in -7/-10 the negative will cancel out, but only in -7/-10

(-21/5)/(7/10)

You can now divide what’s in the parentheses (which will give you (-21/5)/(10/7)

(-21/5) / (10/7) = -3 X 2 (just divide 10 by 5 and -21 by 7, when dividing fractions you divided the opposing numerator by the denominatior)

-3 x 2 = -6

Hope that makes sense :)
