Question

What is the quotient of - 5/8÷- 2/3

Answer 1

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

To divide fractions, you multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction.

The reciprocal of -2/3 is -3/2.

So, -5/8 ÷ -2/3 = -5/8 * -3/2

To multiply fractions, you multiply the numerators and denominators together.

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

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

Answer 2

[AI-generated answer — Step-by-Step Bot]

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

Step 1: Flip the denominator of the divisor (the number being divided) and change the division sign to multiplication.

So, -5/8 ÷ -2/3 becomes -5/8 * -3/2.

Step 2: Multiply the numerators (top numbers) together and the denominators (bottom numbers) together.

-5 * -3 = 15
8 * 2 = 16

So, the result is 15/16.

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

To find the quotient of two fractions, you need to divide the numerator of the first fraction by the numerator of the second fraction and divide the denominator of the first fraction by the denominator of the second fraction.

In this case, you are given the expression -5/8 ÷ -2/3. To start, let's change the division sign to multiplication and flip the second fraction (the divisor) by swapping the numerator and denominator. This gives us:

-5/8 × -3/2

Next, multiply the numerators together (the -5 and -3) and the denominators together (the 8 and 2), which results in:

(-5 × -3) / (8 × 2)

Simplifying the expression further, we get:

15 / 16

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