Question

Simply -3 3/4 divided by 2 1/2​

Answer 1

`=-1(1)/(2)`

Explanation:

Given the following question:


`-3(3)/(4) /2(1)/(2)`

In order to find the answer, we first convert the mixed numbers into improper fractions. Then we use KCF (Keep, Change, Flip) and solve.


`-3(3)/(4) /2(1)/(2)`

`-3(3)/(4) =12+3=-(15)/(4)`

`2(1)/(2)=2*2=4+1=(5)/(2)`

`-(15)/(4) /(5)/(2)`

`-(15)/(4) *(2)/(5)`

`15*2=30`

`4*5=20`

`=-(30)/(20)`

`-(30)/(20) /10=-(3)/(2)`

`-(3)/(2)=3/2=-1(1)/(2)`

`=-1(1)/(2)`

Hope this helps.
