Question

What is the answer to this? −4 1/2÷(−2 2/3) (it has to be a mixed number)

Answer 1

The Answer is 1 11/16

Answer 2

Here is you're answer:

In order to solve this equation you must first change the mixed numbers into improper fractions then use KCF. (Keep, Change, Flip)

• $-4\frac{1}{2} \div -2\frac{2}{3}$
• Change into improper fractions:
• $-4\frac{1}{2} =\frac{-9}{2}$
• $-2\frac{2}{3} = \frac{-8}{3}$
• $\frac{-9}{2} \div \frac{-8}{3}$
• Apply KCF:
• $\frac{-9}{2} \times \frac{-3}{8}$
• Now multiply:
• $\frac{-9}{2} \times \frac{-3}{8} = \frac{27}{16}$
• Remember that a negative times a negative is a positive:
• $= \frac{27}{16}$
• Change into a mixed number:
• $\frac{27}{16} = 1\frac{11}{16}$
• $= 1\frac{11}{16}$

Therefore you're answer is "1 11/16."

Hope this helps!
