Answer:9 and 3/8

Explanation:

you have to make 2 and 2/5 into an improper fraction then make the -1/4 into a -4/1 then multiply across to make 48/5 then you have to reduce down to 8 and 8/5. but that cant happen so you reduce again and get 9 and 3/8.

Answer:

-9.6

Explanation:


2(2)/(5) =2.40\\-(1)/(4) =-0.25

If change them into decimals it looks like that.

Then all you have to do is use standard calculator to find the answer.


(2.40 )/(-0.25) =-9.6
