What is the quotient of - 5/8 ÷ - 2/3

1 answer

To calculate the quotient of two fractions, you need to multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction (or divide them directly).

In this case, the reciprocal of -2/3 is -3/2.

So, the quotient can be found by multiplying -5/8 by -3/2:

(-5/8) * (-3/2)

Multiplying the numerators and denominators:

= (5*3) / (8*2)

= 15/16

Therefore, the quotient of -5/8 ÷ -2/3 is 15/16.
