What is the quotient when you divide −2 3.5 by 4/5?

Answer 1

To find the quotient, we need to divide −2 3.5 by 4/5.

First, we need to convert the mixed number −2 3.5 to an improper fraction:
-2 3.5 = -2 + 3.5 = -2 + (7/2) = -4/2 + 7/2 = 3/2.

Now, we can divide 3/2 by 4/5:
(3/2) ÷ (4/5) = (3/2) × (5/4) = (3 × 5) / (2 × 4) = 15/8.

Therefore, the quotient when you divide -2 3.5 by 4/5 is 15/8.
