What is the quotient of - 5/9 ÷ 1/5

1 answer

To divide fractions, we invert the second fraction and then multiply them.

The division problem can be rewritten as:
-5/9 ÷ 1/5

Inverting the second fraction, we have:
-5/9 × 5/1

Multiplying the fractions, we get:
(-5 × 5) / (9 × 1) = -25/9

Therefore, the quotient of -5/9 ÷ 1/5 is -25/9.
