Question

Simplify: 6-(-9) divided by -9/-4

Answer 1

6 2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the expression:

`\lbrack6-\mleft(-9\mright)\rbrack/(-9)/(-4)`

First, we simplify to obtain:

`=\lbrack6+9\rbrack/-(9)/(-4)`

Note that -9/-4=9/4. The minus sign cancels each other out.

This gives us:

`15/(9)/(4)`

We then change the division sign to multiplication as shown below:

`\begin{gathered} =15*(4)/(9) \\ =(60)/(9) \\ =6(6)/(9) \\ =6(2)/(3) \end{gathered}`
