Answer:
A. 8/15
B. 36/-12 = 3/-1 (-3)
C. -15/-7 (15/7)
D. -30/3 = -10/1 (-10)
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the quotient of two fractions, change the equation from division to multiplication.
Each time you divide fractions, remember this:
SAME, CHANGE, RECIPROCAL (FLIP)
For example, 2/5 ÷ 3/4
SAME: Keep 2/5 as it is.
CHANGE: Change the division to a multiplication sign.
RECIPROCAL (FLIP): Switch the numerator and denominator; 3/4 would become 4/3.
2/5 x 4/3
(Multiply the numerators and denominators).
2/5 x 4/3 = 8/15.
Now, repeat this with other equations.
9/4 ÷ -3/4
9/4 x 4/-3 = 36/-12 = 3/-1 (-3)
-5/7 ÷ -1/3
-5/7 x 3/-1 = -15/-7 = (15/7)
-5/3 ÷ 1/6
-5/3 x 6/1 = -30/3 = -10/1 (-10)
