Question

Simplify negative 4 over 5 ÷ 3 over negative 2.

The answer choices are:
negative 8 over 15
negative 6 over 5
6 over 5
8 over 15

Answer 1

Answer: 8/15

Explanation:

(-4/5) divided by (-3/2) becomes (-4/5) x (-2/3) because when dividing fractions, change it to multiplication and flip the divider (in this case -3/2)

Multiply numerators to get 8 and denominators to get 15 resulting in 8/15
