Question

-1 2/3 / (-2 1/5)
solve this for me please &&' thank you

Answer 1

Start by putting into improper fractions.
- 1 2/3 = - 5/3
- 2 1/5 = - 11/5

Now stack the fractions like this.

$\frac{ \frac{-5}{3} }{ \frac{-11}{5} }$

Here's the key part (or one of them). Cancel the minus signs. Since there are 2 of them they become a plus.

$\frac{ \frac{5}{3} }  { \frac{11}{5} }$

Now invert the 11/5. That means turn it upside down. Put the 5 in the numerator and 11 in the denominator. Multiply by it by the top fraction.

$\frac{5}{3} * \frac{5}{11}$

When you do this, you just multiply top by top and bottom by bottom
