What is \(-2\) and \(\frac{2}{3}\) divided by \(\frac{3}{8}\)?
(Note: "number/number" means it's a fraction.)
Answer (2)
− 2 3 2 d i v i d e d b y 8 3 ∣ C o n v er t − 2 3 2 in t o im p ro p er f r a c t i o n − 3 8 d i v i d e d b y 8 3 ∣ M u lt i pl y f i rs t f r a c t i o n b y in v erse o f t h e seco n d − 3 8 ∗ 3 8 = − 9 64
The result of − 2 3 2 divided by 8 3 is − 9 64 . We first converted the mixed number to an improper fraction, then changed the division to multiplication using the reciprocal. Finally, we multiplied and simplified to get the answer.
