To divide mixed numbers, you can follow these steps:
Step 1: Convert the mixed numbers into improper fractions.
-2 2/3 = -8/3
2 2/7 = 16/7
Step 2: Keep the first fraction as it is (-8/3) and change the division sign to multiplication. Then, flip the second fraction (16/7) and change from division to multiplication to its reciprocal fraction, which is 7/16.
So, the expression -2 2/3 divided by 2 2/7 can be rewritten as:
-8/3 * 7/16
Step 3: Multiply the numerators together and the denominators together.
Multiplying the numerators: -8 * 7 = -56
Multiplying the denominators: 3 * 16 = 48
So, -8/3 * 7/16 becomes -56/48.
Step 4: Simplify the fraction.
Both the numerator and denominator share a common factor of 8. Divide both by 8.
-56/48 simplifies to -7/6.
Therefore, -2 2/3 divided by 2 2/7 is equal to -7/6.
