Here is you're answer:
In order to solve this equation you must first change the mixed numbers into improper fractions then use KCF. (Keep, Change, Flip)
- [tex]-4\frac{1}{2} \div -2\frac{2}{3}[/tex]
- Change into improper fractions:
- [tex]-4\frac{1}{2} =\frac{-9}{2}[/tex]
- [tex]-2\frac{2}{3} = \frac{-8}{3}[/tex]
- [tex]\frac{-9}{2} \div \frac{-8}{3}[/tex]
- Apply KCF:
- [tex]\frac{-9}{2} \times \frac{-3}{8}[/tex]
- Now multiply:
- [tex]\frac{-9}{2} \times \frac{-3}{8} = \frac{27}{16}[/tex]
- Remember that a negative times a negative is a positive:
- [tex]= \frac{27}{16}[/tex]
- Change into a mixed number:
- [tex]\frac{27}{16} = 1\frac{11}{16}[/tex]
- [tex]= 1\frac{11}{16}[/tex]
Therefore you're answer is "1 11/16."
Hope this helps!
