What is the quotient of −5/8÷−2/3

?

1 answer

To find the quotient of \(-\frac{5}{8} \div -\frac{2}{3}\), you can rewrite the division as multiplication by the reciprocal of the divisor.

So, we have:

\[ -\frac{5}{8} \div -\frac{2}{3} = -\frac{5}{8} \times -\frac{3}{2} \]

Next, multiply the numerators and the denominators:

\[ = \frac{5 \times 3}{8 \times 2} \]

Calculating the numerator and denominator, we get:

\[ = \frac{15}{16} \]

Thus, the quotient of \(-\frac{5}{8} \div -\frac{2}{3}\) is \(\frac{15}{16}\).
