Answer:

  • B. negative one and 39 over 45

Explanation:

Convert this into expression:

  • negative four and one fifth ÷ two and one fourth
  • - 4 1/5 ÷ 2 1/4

Step 1

Convert each to improper fraction:

  • - 4 1/5 = - 21/5
  • 2 1/4 = 9/4

Step 2

Divide the fractions:

- 21/5 ÷ 9/4 =

- 21/5 × 4/9 =

- 84 / 45 =

- 1 13/15

The matching choice is B.
