What is the quotient of −58÷−23?(1 point)
$$
The quotient of -58 divided by -23 is 2.5.
What is the quotient of −5/8÷−2/3?(1 point)
$$
To divide fractions, we multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction.
Reciprocal of -2/3 = -3/2
(-5/8) ÷ (-2/3) = (-5/8) * (-3/2)
Multiplying the numerators gives (-5) * (-3) = 15
Multiplying the denominators gives 8 * 2 = 16
So the quotient is 15/16.
What is the quotient of −59÷15? Write the answer as a mixed number.(1 point)
The quotient of -59 divided by 15 is -3 remainder -14. Therefore, the answer as a mixed number is -3 14/15.
What is the quotient of −5/9÷1/5? Write the answer as a mixed number.(1 point)
To divide fractions, we multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction.
Reciprocal of 1/5 = 5/1
(-5/9) ÷ (1/5) = (-5/9) * (5/1)
Multiplying the numerators gives (-5) * (5) = -25.
Multiplying the denominators gives 9 * 1 = 9.
So the quotient is -25/9.
The quotient -25/9 as a mixed number can be simplified as follows:
-25 divided by 9 equals -2 with a remainder of -7. Therefore, the answer as a mixed number is -2 7/9.
