What is the quotient when you divide −10/11 by −2/5? (1 point)
To divide -10/11 by -2/5, we can multiply by the reciprocal of -2/5.
Reciprocal of -2/5: -5/2
(-10/11) * (-5/2) = (10/11)*(5/2)= (10*5)/(11*2) = 50/22 = 25/11
So, the quotient when -10/11 is divided by -2/5 is 25/11.

hat is the quotient when you divide −3/4 by 3/8?
To divide -3/4 by 3/8, we can multiply by the reciprocal of 3/8.
Reciprocal of 3/8: 8/3
(-3/4) * (8/3) = (-3*8)/(4*3) = -24/12 = -2
So, the quotient when -3/4 is divided by 3/8 is -2.
What is the quotient when you divide −2 3/5 by 4/5?
To divide -2 3/5 by 4/5, we need to convert the mixed number -2 3/5 into an improper fraction.
To do this, we multiply the whole number (-2) by the denominator of the fraction (5), and then add the numerator (3). This gives us -2 * 5 + 3 = -10 + 3 = -7.
So, -2 3/5 can be written as -7/5.
Now, we can divide -7/5 by 4/5 by multiplying by the reciprocal of 4/5.
Reciprocal of 4/5: 5/4
(-7/5) * (5/4) = (-7*5)/(5*4) = -35/20
However, we can simplify this fraction by dividing both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 5.
-35/20 simplifies to -7/4.
So, the quotient when -2 3/5 is divided by 4/5 is -7/4.

To find the quotient when you divide two fractions, you need to perform the following steps:
Step 1: Invert the divisor fraction. In this case, you need to invert -2/5 to get -5/2.
Step 2: Multiply the dividend fraction by the inverted divisor fraction. Multiply -10/11 by -5/2:
(-10/11) * (-5/2) = (10/11) * (5/2)
Step 3: Simplify the resulting fraction if necessary.
To simplify this fraction, you can cancel out common factors between the numerator and denominator.
The numerator (10) has a common factor of 5 with the denominator (11).
Cancelling out the common factor, we have:
(10/11) * (5/2) = (2/11) * 1 = 2/11
Therefore, the quotient when you divide -10/11 by -2/5 is 2/11.
