What is the quotient when you divide −10/11 by −2/5?
To divide fractions, you need to multiply the dividend (the first fraction) by the reciprocal of the divisor (the second fraction). The reciprocal of a fraction is obtained by swapping the numerator and denominator.
The reciprocal of −2/5 is −5/2.
So, to find the quotient, we multiply −10/11 by −5/2:
−10/11 * −5/2 = (−10 * −5) / (11 * 2) = 50/22
The fraction 50/22 can be simplified by dividing both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 2:
50/22 = 25/11
Therefore, the quotient of −10/11 ÷ −2/5 is 25/11.
To find the quotient of −71.24 ÷ 0.4, divide -71.24 by 0.4:
-71.24 ÷ 0.4 = -178.1
Therefore, the quotient is -178.1.
To find the quotient of -71.24 ÷ 0.4, you need to divide -71.24 by 0.4.
Divide the absolute values:
|(-71.24)| ÷ |0.4| = 178.1
Since the signs of the dividend (-71.24) and the divisor (0.4) are different (one negative, one positive), the quotient will be negative.
Therefore, the quotient of -71.24 ÷ 0.4 is -178.1.
