Question

8/15 divided by -0.35 as fraction

Answer 1

Hi, I'm happy to help!

To solve this problem, we can turn -0.35 into an equivalent fraction.

`(8)/(15)`÷
`(-0.35)/(1)`

For division, I like to use the strategy called KFC. This stand for Keep, flip, and change. You keep the first fraction, flip the second, and change the operation.

`(8)/(15)`×
`(1)/(-0.35)`

Now we multiply the top by the top and the bottom by the bottom.

`(8)/(-5.25)`

We know that the negative applies to the entire fraction, so we write it like this:

-
`(8)/(5.25)`

I hope this was helpful, keep learning! :D

Answer 2

-0.35 = - (35/100) = -7/20
(8/15) / (7/20) = (8/15) * (20/7) = (8*20) / (15*7)
= 160/105 = 32/21
