Question

Simplify -8 over 3 divided by -2 over 6

Answer 1

Hi!

To answer this question, first let's write the fractions.

$\frac{-8}{3} \frac{-2}{6}$

When you divide fractions, you multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal (an upside down fraction) of the second fraction. The reciprocal of -2/6 is 6/-2. Now multiply.

$\frac{-8}{3} \frac{6}{-2} = \frac{-48}{-6}$

Simplify

-48/-6 = 8

The answer is 8

Hope this helps! :)

Answer 2

8 is the answer so the reciprocal method is used flip the second one to be 6 over -2 and the multiply straight across to get 48/8 which equals 8
