Question

By what number should-15/56 be divided to get -5/6

pls pls pls pls I need your help ​

Answer 1

The desired divisor is n = 21

Explanation:

Let that number be n. Then:

-15/56 -5

---------- = ---------

n 6

Through cross-multiplication we get:

(-15/56)*6 = -5n, which reduces to:

(-15)(7) = -5n, or 3(7) = n

The desired divisor is n = 21
