What is the quotient when you divide −3/4 by 3/8?(1 point)

Answer 1

To divide −3/4 by 3/8, you invert the second fraction and multiply:

(-3/4)/(3/8) = (-3/4)(8/3)

To simplify the multiplication of fractions, multiply the numerators together and the denominators together:

(-3/4)(8/3) = (-3*8)/(4*3) = -24/12

Next, you simplify the fraction:

-24/12 = -2

Therefore, the quotient when you divide −3/4 by 3/8 is -2.
