Question

Solve the division problem. -1 3/5 divide (-2/3) write as a mixed number.

Answer 1

First you make -1 3/5 into an improper fraction, -8/5

Since you're dividing a fraction by another fraction you'd change it to -8/5 × -3/2

(Don't forget to flip -2/3 to -3/2)

when you multiply it it'd be 24/10

(It is a positive number because when you multiply two negative numbers it becomes positive)

24/10 as a mixed fraction is 2 1/5
