Given the numerical statement:
-3 3/8 x -2/3 divided by(-1 3/4)
Solution:
This can be written as,
( -3 3/7)(-⅔)/(- 1 ¾)
In order to solve the numerical equation, we must convert first the mixed number into improper fraction.
-3 3/7 = -24/7
-1 ¾ = -7/4
Multiply first the values of the numerator.
= (-24/7)(-⅔) / (-7/4)
= 54/21/(-7/4)
Now we must take note in dividing fractions, that we must take first the reciprocal of the fraction in the denominator, and multiply it with fraction on the numerator. The reciprocal of the number simply refers to its inverse or opposite.
= (54/21)(-4/7)
=-216/147
Final answer:
=-216/147
