Answer:
-4.9
Explanation:
Since the number 26.95 has two decimal places, it can be turned into a whole number with a denominator having two zeroes; 100
2695
100
Then change -5 1/2 into an improper fraction; = -5 × 2 + 1
2
= -11/2
2695 ÷ ( -11 )
100 2
Reciprocate (put denominator as numerator and vice-versa ) the equation after the ÷ sign. After doing so, the ÷ sign changes to × sign.
Hence: 2695 × ( 2 )
100 -11
Then, cross multiply.
100 ÷ 2 50
-245 ÷ 50
= -4.9
