Question

1/5 divided by -1/14?

Answer 1

Answer:

-2.8 or -14/5

Step-by-step explanation:

To divide one fraction by another, there is a really cool method called Keep Change Flip

Keep the first fraction

Change the division sign to multiplication

Flip the numbers on the last fraction

Let's try it out.

Keep the 1/5

Change the ÷ to a ×

Flip the -1/14 to a -14/1

1/5 × -14/1

Multiply the top numbers by each other first

1 × -14 = -14

Now the bottom numbers

5 × -1 = -5

The fraction we have now is -14/5

It can also be written as -2.8
