Answer 2

Answer:

Esmerelda did not use the reciprocal of the divisor.

Step-by-step explanation:

A complex fraction is another way to show division of two fractions.  In this case, we are dividing -5 1/4 by 3/2.

We first convert -5 1/4 to an improper fraction.  To do this, multiply the whole number by the denominator; this gives us -5(4) = -20.  Then add the -1 (negative since the fraction is negative); this gives us -21/4.

This means we are dividing -21/4 by 3/2.

To divide fractions, we multiply by the reciprocal; this means we flip the second fraction and multiply.  We would then multiply -21/4 by 2/3.  This is the step Esmerelda did not do.
