Question

Divide.

Answer 1

Answer:

Answer in simplified form is - 10 1/2 .

Step-by-step explanation:

We have given,

(5 1/4) ÷ (- 2 1/2)

This can be simplified as :

(5 1/4) ÷ ( -2 1/2)

Since 5 1/4 = 21/4  and -2 1/ 2 = -5/2

So we can write,

(5 1/4) ÷ ( -2 1/2) = 21/4 ÷ ( - 5/2)

or (21/4) / (-5/2)

or ( 21/4) * (-2/5)

or -42/20

or -21/10

or - 10 1/2 , this is the answer

Hence we get answer in simplified form as -10 1/2
