Given the expression: -3/(-2/5)
Since there is a fraction on the denominator, we must take it's reciprocal and multiply it by the numerator. The reciprocal of -2/5 is equal to -5/2, the sign does not change since the negative reciprocal of a number is to take negative one, and divide by the value. The solution will become
=(-3)(-5/2)
=15/2 or 7.5
