Answer: 2.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Solve the numerator first.
We are left with:
To be able to work this out, we must convert the fraction to a decimal.
To do this, you can either go from a mixed number to an improper fraction and then from an improper fraction to a decimal, or you can divide the fractional part of the mixed number and add it to the whole number.
6+(1/4)
6+(0.25)
6+0.25
6.25
--------------------------------------------
Now, we know that this is a positive outcome because we have 2 negatives dividing.
6.25/2.5
To be able to work this out we have 1 more step to go. We have to convert these decimals to whole numbers; to do this, we multiply by 1 followed by as many zeros as the biggest number of decimals. In this case, the biggest number of decimals is 2, therefore; we must multiply by 1 followed by 2 zeros rather 100.
6.25*100/2.5*100
625/250
-----------------------------------------------------------
Let's solve this.
625/250=2.5
