Question

8/15 divided by -0.35 as fraction

Answer 1

-0.35 = - (35/100) = -7/20
(8/15) / (7/20) = (8/15) * (20/7) = (8*20) / (15*7)
= 160/105 = 32/21

Answer 2

Hi, I'm happy to help!

To solve this problem, we can turn -0.35 into an equivalent fraction.

$\frac{8}{15}$÷$\frac{-0.35}{1}$

For division, I like to use the strategy called KFC. This stand for Keep, flip, and change. You keep the first fraction, flip the second, and change the operation.

$\frac{8}{15}$×$\frac{1}{-0.35}$

Now we multiply the top by the top and the bottom by the bottom.

$\frac{8}{-5.25}$

We know that the negative applies to the entire fraction, so we write it like this:

-$\frac{8}{5.25}$

I hope this was helpful, keep learning! :D
