What is the quotient of -5/9÷1/5. Write as a mixed number

Answer 1

To find the quotient, we have to divide -5/9 by 1/5.

When dividing fractions, we invert the divisor (the second fraction) and multiply.

So, -5/9 ÷ 1/5 = -5/9 * 5/1.

When multiplying fractions, we multiply the numerators together and the denominators together.

So, -5/9 * 5/1 = (-5 * 5) / (9 * 1) = -25 / 9.

To write this as a mixed number, we divide the numerator (-25) by the denominator (9). The quotient is -2 with a remainder of 7.

So, the mixed number is -2 7/9.
