what is the quotient when you divide -2 3/5 by 4/5
GPT-4o mini
To divide \(-2 \frac{3}{5}\) by \(\frac{4}{5}\), we first convert the mixed number into an improper fraction.
1. Convert \(-2 \frac{3}{5}\) to an improper fraction:
\[
-2 \frac{3}{5} = -\left(2 \times 5 + 3\right)/5 = -\frac{10 + 3}{5} = -\frac{13}{5}
\]
2. Now, divide \(-\frac{13}{5}\) by \(\frac{4}{5}\):
\[
-\frac{13}{5} \div \frac{4}{5} = -\frac{13}{5} \times \frac{5}{4}
\]
3. When you multiply, the \(5\) in the numerator and the \(5\) in the denominator cancel out:
\[
-\frac{13 \cdot 1}{1 \cdot 4} = -\frac{13}{4}
\]
4. Finally, we can convert \(-\frac{13}{4}\) back to a mixed number if needed:
\[
-\frac{13}{4} = -3 \frac{1}{4}
\]
Thus, the quotient of \(-2 \frac{3}{5}\) divided by \(\frac{4}{5}\) is \(-\frac{13}{4}\) or \(-3 \frac{1}{4}\).
1. Convert \(-2 \frac{3}{5}\) to an improper fraction:
\[
-2 \frac{3}{5} = -\left(2 \times 5 + 3\right)/5 = -\frac{10 + 3}{5} = -\frac{13}{5}
\]
2. Now, divide \(-\frac{13}{5}\) by \(\frac{4}{5}\):
\[
-\frac{13}{5} \div \frac{4}{5} = -\frac{13}{5} \times \frac{5}{4}
\]
3. When you multiply, the \(5\) in the numerator and the \(5\) in the denominator cancel out:
\[
-\frac{13 \cdot 1}{1 \cdot 4} = -\frac{13}{4}
\]
4. Finally, we can convert \(-\frac{13}{4}\) back to a mixed number if needed:
\[
-\frac{13}{4} = -3 \frac{1}{4}
\]
Thus, the quotient of \(-2 \frac{3}{5}\) divided by \(\frac{4}{5}\) is \(-\frac{13}{4}\) or \(-3 \frac{1}{4}\).
