Answer 2

2/3 ÷ (-5/6)

When dividing fractions, all you really have to do is multiply the first fraction by the second fraction's reciprocal.

Remember, a reciprocal is the fraction/whole number flipped.

Ex : 4/6 turns into 6/4

So, the reciprocal of -5/6 is -6/5

Therefore, our new equation looks like this :

2/3 × -6/5

Multiply the numerators with the numerators, and the denominators with the denominators :)

Numerators : 2 × -6 = -12

Denominators : 3 × 5 = 15

SO, our answer is -12/15

Simplify this.

-4/5
