Question

Divide. (3 5/8) ÷ (-2 2/3)

Answer 1

Answer:

-1 23/64

Step-by-step explanation:

First change the 2 mixed numbers to single fractions:-

3 5/8  = (3*8+ 5) / 8 = 29/8

-2 2/3 = - (2*3 + 2/ 3 =  -8/3

so we have  29/8 /  -8/3

Invert the -8/3 then multiply:-

= 29/8 * -3/8

=  -87/64

= -1 23/64    (answer)
