What is the quotient when you divide −10/11 by −2/5? write as a mixed number
To divide -10/11 by -2/5, we can multiply the numerator of the first fraction with the denominator of the second fraction and the denominator of the first fraction with the numerator of the second fraction. Thus, we get (-10/11) / (-2/5) = ( -10/11 ) * ( -5/2 ).
Multiplying the numerators gives us -10 * -5 = 50, and multiplying the denominators gives us 11 * 2 = 22. Therefore, the quotient is 50/22.
To write this as a mixed number, we divide the numerator by the denominator.
50/22 = 2 and 6/22.
Since we cannot reduce the fraction 6/22 any further, the quotient is 2 and 6/22.
To find the quotient when you divide -10/11 by -2/5, you can divide the numerator of the first fraction by the numerator of the second fraction and the denominator of the first fraction by the denominator of the second fraction.
So, (-10/11) ÷ (-2/5) is equal to:
(-10 ÷ -2) / (11 ÷ 5)
Simplifying the numerator and denominator:
(5) / (11/5)
To divide by a fraction, you can multiply by its reciprocal:
(5) * (5/11)
Multiplying the fractions:
25/11
To write the answer as a mixed number, divide the numerator (25) by the denominator (11):
25 ÷ 11 = 2 remainder 3
The quotient is 2 with a remainder of 3, so the mixed number is:
2 and 3/11
