What is the quotient when u divide-10/11 by -2/5

1 answer

To divide -10/11 by -2/5, you multiply the dividend (-10/11) by the reciprocal of the divisor (-5/2):

(-10/11) ÷ (-2/5) = (-10/11) × (5/(-2))

Multiplying the numerators gives -50, and multiplying the denominators gives -22:

= -50/(-22)

The quotient is 50/22, which can be simplified by dividing both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor (2):

= 25/11
