1. Find the quotient
-7 divided by 14/13
A.-2/3
B.-98/3
C.-1/2
D.-3/2
Sorry I messed up it was actually -7 divided by 14/3
-7 / (14/3) = -7 * 3/14 = -21/14 = -3/2
To find the quotient of -7 divided by 14/13, we can follow these steps:
Step 1: Flip the fraction that we are dividing by. So, the reciprocal of 14/13 is 13/14.
Step 2: Multiply -7 by the reciprocal of 14/13:
-7 * 13/14 = -91/14
Therefore, the quotient is -91/14.
To find the quotient of -7 divided by 14/13, you need to perform the division operation. Here's how you can do it step by step:
Step 1: Rewrite the division problem as a multiplication problem by taking the reciprocal (flipping) of the divisor:
-7 ÷ 14/13 becomes -7 × 13/14.
Step 2: Multiply the numerator (-7) by the reciprocal of the denominator (13/14):
-7 × 13/14 = -91/14.
Therefore, the quotient of -7 divided by 14/13 is -91/14.
To check the answer options, let's simplify -91/14:
-91/14 can be reduced by dividing both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 7:
-91 ÷ 7 / 14 ÷ 7 = -13/2.
So, the simplified form of -91/14 is -13/2.
Comparing this with the given answer options:
A. -2/3: This is not the correct answer.
B. -98/3: This is not the correct answer.
C. -1/2: This is not the correct answer.
D. -3/2: This is not the correct answer.
None of the provided answer options, A, B, C, or D, is correct. The correct answer is -91/14.
