Answer 1

To find the quotient of –7 ÷ fourteen-thirds, we can rewrite the expression as a division problem:

–7 / (14/3)

To divide fractions, we can multiply the dividend (–7) by the reciprocal of the divisor (14/3). The reciprocal of a fraction is found by swapping the numerator and denominator:

–7 * (3/14)

Multiplying the numerator and denominator gives us:

–21/14

Simplifying the fraction, we can divide both numerator and denominator by 7:

–3/2

Therefore, the quotient is negative three-halves.
