Answer 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.
