What is the quotient of -5/9 divide 1/5? Write the answer as a mixed number

Answer 1

To find the quotient of two fractions, we need to multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction. The reciprocal of 1/5 is 5/1.

So, -5/9 divided by 1/5 can be written as:
-5/9 * 5/1

Multiplying these fractions gives us:
(-5 * 5) / (9 * 1) = -25/9

To write the answer in mixed number form, we divide the numerator (-25) by the denominator (9) and find the whole number and the remainder.
-25 divided by 9 is -2 with a remainder of 7.

Therefore, the quotient of -5/9 divided by 1/5 as a mixed number is -2 and 7/9.
