Question

by −1/5

-4 3/8
7/40
4 3/8

Answer 1

To divide fractions, you multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction.

So, when you divide -7/8 by -1/5, you multiply -7/8 by -5/1.

(-7/8) * (-5/1) = 35/8

The quotient is 35/8, which is equivalent to 4 3/8.

So, the correct answer is: 4 3/8.
