Answer:
5/3 = -3/5: 5/3 = -3/5 · 3/5 = -3 · 3/5 · 5 = -9/25 (-0.36)
Step-by-step explanation:
Dividing two fractions is the same as multiplying the first fraction by the reciprocal value of the second fraction.
The first sub-step is to find the reciprocal (reverse the numerator and denominator, reciprocal of 5/3 is 3/5) of the second fraction.
