Question

-3/4 - 1/5 divide by 2/5

Answer 1

Answer:

$-2\frac{3}{8}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following fractions to divide:

$\frac {\frac { -3 } { 4 } - \frac { 1 } { 5 } } { \frac { 2 } { 5 } }$

Taking LCM of the fractions in the numerator to simplify it into a single fraction:

$\frac { \frac { -15 - 4 } { 20} } {\frac {2} {5} }$

$\frac {\frac{-19} {20} } {\frac {2} {5} }$

Taking reciprocal of the fraction in the denominator to change it to multiplication:

$-\frac{19}{20}$ × $\frac{5}{2}$

$-\frac{19}{8}$

Changing this improper fraction into a mixed number:

$-2\frac{3}{8}$
