Answer 1

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

To calculate the quotient of two fractions, you need to multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction (or divide them directly).

In this case, the reciprocal of -2/3 is -3/2.

So, the quotient can be found by multiplying -5/8 by -3/2:

(-5/8) * (-3/2)

Multiplying the numerators and denominators:

= (5*3) / (8*2)

= 15/16

Therefore, the quotient of -5/8 ÷ -2/3 is 15/16.

To find the quotient of -5/8 ÷ -2/3, follow these steps:

Step 1: Flip the divisor. The division of fractions is the same as multiplying the dividend by the reciprocal of the divisor. So flip -2/3 to get -3/2.

Step 2: Multiply the dividend (-5/8) by the reciprocal of the divisor (-3/2).

(-5/8) × (-3/2) = (5/8) × (3/2) = (5 × 3) / (8 × 2) = 15/16

Therefore, the quotient of -5/8 ÷ -2/3 equals 15/16.
