-5 2/3 . (-1 1/2)
To solve the expression (-5 2/3) * (-1 1/2), we need to first convert the mixed numbers into improper fractions.
-5 2/3 = -(15/3) + 2/3 = -17/3
-1 1/2 = -(2/2) + 1/2 = -1/2
Now we can multiply the fractions:
(-17/3) * (-1/2) = (17/3) * (1/2)
To multiply, we multiply the numerators (17 * 1) and the denominators (3 * 2):
(17/3) * (1/2) = (17 * 1) / (3 * 2) = 17/6
Therefore, the result is 17/6.
9.65 divided by (-0.5)
To divide 9.65 by -0.5, we simply divide 9.65 by -0.5:
9.65 / (-0.5) = -19.3
Therefore, 9.65 divided by -0.5 equals -19.3.
-2 1/2 divided by 1/4
To divide -2 1/2 by 1/4, we first need to convert the mixed number into an improper fraction.
-2 1/2 = -(5/2) + 1/2 = -5/2 + 1/2 = -4/2 = -2
Now we can divide -2 by 1/4:
-2 / (1/4) = -2 * (4/1) = -8
Therefore, -2 1/2 divided by 1/4 equals -8.
thats wrong
I apologize for the mistake. Let's correct it.
To divide -2 1/2 by 1/4, we need to convert the mixed number into an improper fraction.
-2 1/2 = -(5/2)
Now we can divide -(5/2) by 1/4. When dividing fractions, we multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction.
-(5/2) / (1/4) = -(5/2) * (4/1) = -(5 * 4) / (2 * 1) = -20/2 = -10
Therefore, -2 1/2 divided by 1/4 equals -10. I apologize for any confusion caused.
-3/8 divided by 1/8
To divide -3/8 by 1/8, we multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction.
-3/8 รท 1/8 = -3/8 * 8/1
When multiplying fractions, we multiply the numerators together and the denominators together:
(-3 * 8) / (8 * 1) = -24/8
To simplify the fraction, we can divide both numerator and denominator by their greatest common factor, which is 8.
-24/8 = -3/1 = -3
Therefore, -3/8 divided by 1/8 equals -3.
