-1/6 divided by 2/9

Answer 1

To divide fractions, we multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction.

The reciprocal of 2/9 is 9/2.

(-1/6) ÷ (2/9) = (-1/6) * (9/2)

The numerators can be multiplied together: -1 * 9 = -9. The denominators can also be multiplied: 6 * 2 = 12.

Therefore, (-1/6) ÷ (2/9) = -9/12.

This fraction can be simplified by dividing the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 3:

(-9/3) ÷ (12/3) = -3/4.

So, -1/6 divided by 2/9 equals -3/4.
