i just need help with this equation

(5)/(12)w=-8

i am wondering if i do the reciprocal and then divide it by 5?

If you mean (5/12)w = -8
then yes. Multiply both sides by the reciprocal of 5/12 = 12/5

5/12 * 12/5 w = -8 * 12/5
w = -96/5
ohh yeah i got that the first time but then i divided it and got a decimal and i second guessed myself
but thank you!
