Answer 1

Answer:

I have gotten 216/61, but I am not sure if this is right.

Step-by-step explanation:

By using the "Keep It, Change It, Flip It" tactic, I was able to come up with an answer and simplify it.

1. Keep the original divisor.

    162/3

2. Change the sign.

    Division becomes multiplication.

3. The last fraction is reciprocated.

    61/4 becomes 4/61.
