Hey bot What is the quotient when you divide −2 3/5 by 4/5?

Answer 1

To divide −2 3/5 by 4/5, we need to convert the mixed number into an improper fraction first.

Converting −2 3/5 to an improper fraction:
- Multiply the whole number (-2) by the denominator (5): -2 × 5 = -10.
- Add the result to the numerator (3): -10 + 3 = -7.
- Write the sum (-7) over the denominator (5): -7/5.

Now we can perform the division: (-7/5)/(4/5).
To divide fractions, we multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second.
Reciprocal of 4/5 is 5/4.

(-7/5) × (5/4) = (-7 × 5) / (5 × 4) = -35/20.

Therefore, the quotient of dividing −2 3/5 by 4/5 is -35/20.

Answer 3

Apologies for any confusion caused. Let's try to solve the division correctly.

To divide −2 3/5 by 4/5, we need to convert the mixed number into an improper fraction.

Converting −2 3/5 to an improper fraction:

- Multiply the whole number (-2) by the denominator (5): -2 × 5 = -10.
- Add the result to the numerator (3): -10 + 3 = -7.
- Write the sum (-7) over the denominator (5): -7/5.

Now we can perform the division: (-7/5) ÷ (4/5).

To divide fractions, we multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second.

Reciprocal of 4/5 is 5/4. So, we have:

(-7/5) × (5/4) = -7/5 × 5/4

Simplifying, we get:

= (-7 × 5) / (5 × 4)
= -35 / 20
= -7/4

Therefore, the correct quotient when dividing −2 3/5 by 4/5 is -7/4.
