Question

Simplify 8 over negative 4 divided by negative 3 over 9. 6 −6 12 −12

Answer 1

Answer:

6

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$\frac{8}{-4} / \frac{-3}{9}$

Required

Solve

$\frac{8}{-4} / \frac{-3}{9}$

We start by converting the division sign to multiplication

$\frac{8}{-4} / \frac{-3}{9} =\frac{8}{-4} * \frac{-9}{3}$

Then, we divide -9 by 3

$\frac{8}{-4} / \frac{-3}{9}=\frac{8}{-4} * -3$

Then, we divide 8 by -4

$\frac{8}{-4} / \frac{-3}{9}=-2 * -3$

Multiply -2 and -3 to give final result

$\frac{8}{-4} / \frac{-3}{9} = 6$

Hence, $\frac{8}{-4} / \frac{-3}{9}$ is equivalent to 6
