Question

-1 3/5 divided by (-2/3) write as mixed number

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

$- 1 \frac{3}{5} \div \frac{ - 2}{3}$

Convert the mixed numbers above to improper fractions. Thus:

$\frac{ - 8}{5} \div \frac{ - 2}{3}$

In order to simplify the fractions above, the division sign changes to multiplication sign thus turn the right hand side of the fraction inversely such that -2/3 to -3/2. Hence,

$\frac{ - 8}{5} \times \frac{ - 3}{2}$

$\frac{ - 8 \times - 3}{5 \times 2}$

$= \frac{24}{10}$

$= 2 \frac{4}{10}$

$= 2 \frac{2}{5}$
