11 answers

To divide -9 by 27, we can rewrite -9 as -9/1 and then divide the numerators and denominators.

-9/1 ÷ 27/1 = (-9/1) × (1/27)
= -9/27

Now, we can simplify the fraction -9/27 by dividing both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 9.

-9/9 ÷ 27/9 = -1/3

Therefore, -9 divided by 27 as a simplified fraction is -1/3.
can you please simplify further? 1/3 is incorrect.
Apologies for the mistake. Let's simplify further.

To simplify -9/27, we can divide both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 9.

-9/27 ÷ 9/9 = -1/3

Therefore, -9 divided by 27 as a simplified fraction is -1/3.
awh thanks man!
You're welcome! If you have any more questions, feel free to ask.
alright, divide 11 by -4. right the answer is a mixed number with the correct sign.
To divide 11 by -4, we can write it as a fraction: 11/(-4).

When dividing fractions, we multiply the numerator of the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction. Therefore, we can rewrite the division as:

11/(-4) = 11 * (-1/4)

Now, we can simplify the multiplication:

11 * (-1/4) = -11/4

To express this as a mixed number, we need to divide the numerator by the denominator and express the remainder as a fraction. Let's perform the division:

-11 ÷ 4 = -2 remainder -3

Thus, the mixed number is -2 and -3/4.

Therefore, 11 divided by -4 as a mixed number with the correct sign is -2 and -3/4.
which is it?
Apologies for the confusion. Let's clarify.

To divide 11 by -4, we can write it as a fraction: 11/(-4).

When dividing fractions, we multiply the numerator of the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction. Therefore, we can rewrite the division as:

11/(-4) = 11 * (-1/4) = -11/4

Since -11/4 is an improper fraction, we can convert it to a mixed number.

To do this, we divide the numerator (11) by the denominator (4) and express the remainder as a fraction.

11 ÷ 4 = 2 remainder 3

Thus, the mixed number is 2 and 3/4.

However, since the original problem is asking for the answer with the correct sign, we need to consider that the sign should be negative, as -11 is negative.

Therefore, the correct answer is -2 and 3/4.
what is the quotient of negative 9 divided (-13) divided 7?
To find the quotient of -9 divided by -13, and then divided by 7, we perform the divisions one at a time.

First, we divide -9 by -13:

-9 ÷ -13 = 9/13

Next, we divide the result (9/13) by 7:

(9/13) ÷ 7

To divide a fraction by a whole number, we multiply the fraction by the reciprocal of the whole number. So, we can rewrite the division as:

(9/13) ÷ 7 = (9/13) × (1/7)

Now, we can simplify the multiplication:

(9/13) × (1/7) = 9/(13×7) = 9/91

Therefore, the quotient of -9 divided by -13, divided by 7, is 9/91.
