Question

Simplify 8 over negative 3 divided by negative 4 over 9 . (5 points) -8 -6 6 8

Answer 1

Answer:

6

Step-by-step explanation:

(8/3) / (-4/9)

when dividing fractions you use the acronym k.c.f (keep change flip)

keep the first fraction

change the operation (divide to multiply)

flip the other fraction

(8/-3) x (9/4)

after re-writing your expression, you want to solve

do this by multiplying both numerators by each other and same with the denominators

(-8x9) / (3x-4)

then you get a new fraction,

-72/-12

simplify,

-72/-12 = 6 (multiplying/dividing 2 negatives will always give you a positive)
