Given:
- 1 3/5 / -2 / 3
Solution:
In order to divide two fractions, we take the reciprocal of the denominator, or the divisor, and multiply it with the numerator. The reciprocal of -⅔ is (-3/2). For this operation, we exclude first the whole number.
= (3/5)(-3/2)
= -9/10
Now we can simply add the whole number in the front.
= - 1 9/10
Final answer:
= - 1 9/10
