To divide fractions, you can follow these steps:
Step 1: Convert the mixed numbers into improper fractions.
2 5/7 = (2*7 + 5)/7 = 19/7
Step 2: Invert the divisor (the fraction you are dividing by). In this case, the divisor is -38/21. So, the reciprocal of -38/21 is -21/38.
Step 3: Multiply the dividend (the number being divided) by the reciprocal of the divisor.
19/7 ÷ -38/21 = 19/7 * -21/38
Step 4: Multiply the numerator (top) of the first fraction by the numerator of the second fraction, and the denominator (bottom) of the first fraction by the denominator of the second fraction.
(19 * -21) / (7 * 38)
Step 5: Simplify the resulting fraction, if possible. If a common factor exists between the numerator and the denominator, divide both by that factor.
-399 / 2666
The result of 2 5/7 divided by -38/21 is -399/2666.
