Question

-1 3/5 divided by (-2/3) write as mixed number

Answer 1

Explanation:

`- 1 (3)/(5) / ( - 2)/(3)`

Convert the mixed numbers above to improper fractions. Thus:

`( - 8)/(5) / ( - 2)/(3)`

In order to simplify the fractions above, the division sign changes to multiplication sign thus turn the right hand side of the fraction inversely such that -2/3 to -3/2. Hence,

`( - 8)/(5) * ( - 3)/(2)`

`( - 8 * - 3)/(5 * 2)`

`= (24)/(10)`

`= 2 (4)/(10)`

`= 2 (2)/(5)`
