Divide −9 by 27

Question

. Write the answer as a simplified fraction

Answer 1

To divide -9 by 27, we can rewrite -9 as -9/1 and divide it by 27/1.

(-9/1) ÷ (27/1) = (-9/1) * (1/27)
= -9/27

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

(-9/1) ÷ (27/1) = (-9/27) ÷ (9/9)
= (-1/3)

So, -9 divided by 27, written as a simplified fraction, is -1/3.
