Question

Simplify:
-1 |2/3-4| divided by 5/6

Answer 1

4

Explanation:

`(-1 ((2)/(3) - 4)) / (5/6)`

Let's solve for the numerator first:

PEMDAS says parenthesis first so...

2/3 - 4, we'll turn 4 into an improper fraction so it's easier

2/3 - 12/3 = -10/3

-1(-10/3) = (+)10/3

Now, we replace this as the numerator:

(10/3) / (5/6)

To divide, we multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second:

(10/3) * (6/5) = 60/15

now simplify.....

60/15 = 4 or in other words, {15 * 4 = 60}

So, the answer is 4!
