Answer:

True

Explanation:

The reciprocal of
(5)/(11) is
(11)/(5) , then


(11)/(5) ÷ -
(55)/(18)

Change ÷ to × and turn the second fraction upside down, that is


(11)/(5) × -
(18)/(55) ← cancel 11 and 55 by 11

=
(1)/(5) × -
(18)/(5)

= -
(18)/(25) ← True

Answer:

true

Explanation:

Reciprocal of
(5)/(11)=(11)/(5)

Dividing it by
(-55)/(18)

=>
(11)/(5) / (-55)/(18)

Converting the divide sign into multiplication sign

=>
-((11)/(5) *(18)/(55))

=>
-((1*18)/(5*5) )

=>
-(18)/(25)

So, the answer is True
