What is the quotient- 5/8 ÷ - 2/3
To divide fractions, we multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction. So, the quotient of 5/8 ÷ -2/3 is equal to (5/8) * (-3/2).
Multiplying the numerators and denominators, we get:
(5 * -3) / (8 * 2) = -15/16.
Therefore, the quotient of 5/8 ÷ -2/3 is -15/16.
To divide fractions, you need to multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction.
The reciprocal of -2/3 is -3/2 (by flipping the numerator and denominator).
So the quotient is:
5/8 ÷ -2/3 = 5/8 x -3/2
Now let's multiply the fractions:
5/8 x -3/2 = (5 x -3) / (8 x 2) = -15/16
Therefore, the quotient of 5/8 ÷ -2/3 is -15/16.
