Question

Divide. Write Divide. Write your answer in simplest form. −7/5÷1/5=?

Answer 1

- 7

Explanation:

-
`(7)/(5)` ÷
`(1)/(5)`

Leave the first fraction, change division to multiplication and turn the second fraction upside down.

-
`(7)/(5)` ×
`(5)/(1)` ← cancel 5 on numerator and denominator

= - 7 × 1

= - 7

Answer 2

`( - 7)/(5) / (1)/(5) \\ = ( - 7)/(5) * (5)/(1) \\ = ( - 7)/(1) * (1)/(1) \\ = ( - 7)/(1) \\ = - 7`

This is the answer.
