Question

What is the quotient for 2 8/9 / (-5 8/9)

Answer 1

The answer is 2764 if I’m not mistaken

Answer 2

Explanation:

Dividing by a fraction means to multiply for the inverse of that fraction. In formulas, dividing by

a/b

means to multiply for

b/a

. In this case, thus,

28/9:-58/9

=28/9×9/-58

Since you multiply fractions by multiplying separately numerators and denominator, the final result is

28/9×9/-58

=28/-58

=0.4828(approx)

So the quotient is 0.4828
