Picture relating to the question is attached below :

Answer:

Esmerelda did not use the recipro al of the Divisor.

Esmerelda added the numerator

Esmerelda added the denominator

Explanation:

Esmerelda's work:

-5 1/4 ÷ 3/2= -21/4 ÷3/2 = (-21/4)(3/2) = -24/6 = - 4

Esmerelda's errors:

When changing the quotient sign to multiplication ; the reciprocal of the denominator should be used to divide the numerator :

Hence,

-21/4 ÷3/2 = (-21/4)(3/2) (wrong expression)

-21/4 ÷3/2 = (-21/4)(2/3) (correct expression)

Also,

(-21/4)(3/2) = -24/6 ( wrong simplification)

The bracket symbol indicates multiplication. Hence, the values should be multiplied. The two Numerator values and the two denominator values.

Answer:

  • Esmerelda added the numerators.
  • Esmerelda added the denominators.
  • Esmerelda did not use the reciprocal of the divisor. ​

Explanation:

When multiplying fractions, you are <u>not to add</u> them up as Esmerelda did. Rather you are to multiply them. The same goes for denominators as well.

If you want to divide a fraction by another fraction, you are to use the reciprocal of the divisor to multiplier the fraction to be divided. In this instance therefore, Esmerelda should have multiplied -21/4 by 2/3 which is the reciprocal of 3/2.

The correct working should have been:

= \frac{-\frac{21}{4} }{\frac{3}{2} }  = (-\frac{21}{4}) (\frac{2}{3}) = -\frac{42}{12} = -3.5
