What is the quotient when you divide -3/4 by 3/8?

Question

-3 5/9
2
-9/32
-2

Answer 1

To divide fractions, you invert the second fraction and then multiply:

-3/4 ÷ 3/8 = -3/4 × 8/3 = (-3 × 8)/ (4 × 3) = -24/12

Next, simplify the fraction -24/12:

-24 ÷ 12 = -2

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