To divide fractions, we multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction. So, the quotient of -6/10 divided by -5/6 is:
-6/10 ÷ -5/6
To simplify this, we can simplify the fractions first:
-6/10 = -3/5
-5/6 remains the same since it's already in simplified form.
So, the quotient becomes:
(-3/5) ÷ (-5/6)
Now, we multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction:
(-3/5) × (6/-5)
Multiplying the numerators and denominators gives:
(-3 × 6) / (5 × -5)
Simplifying further:
-18 / -25
Because both the numerator and denominator have negative signs, they cancel out, resulting in a positive fraction:
18/25
Therefore, the simplified quotient is 18/25.
Find the quotient simplify if possible
