Question

Simplify (-5/7)÷(-1/2) show work

Answer 1

`(10)/(7) \: or \: 1 (3)/(7)`

Explanation:

`- (5)/(7) / - (1)/(2) = - (5)/(7) * - (2)/(1)`

First you reciprocate the fractions and change the division sign to multiplication.

`- 5 * - 2 = 10 \: and \: 7 * 1 = 7`

Therefore the answer is:

`(10)/(7)`
