One over five equals negative eight

answer:

conversion a mixed number 2 2

3

to a improper fraction: 2 2/3 = 2 2

3

= 2 · 3 + 2

3

= 6 + 2

3

= 8

3

o find new numerator:

a) multiply the whole number 2 by the denominator 3. whole number 2 equally 2 * 3

3

= 6

3

b) add the answer from previous step 6 to the numerator 2. new numerator is 6 + 2 = 8

c) write previous answer (new numerator 8) over the denominator 3.

two and two thirds is eight thirds

divide: 5

8

: 8

3

= 5

8

· 3

8

= 5 · 3

8 · 8

= 15

dividing two fractions is the same as multiplying the first fraction by the reciprocal value of the second fraction. the first sub-step is to find the reciprocal (reverse the numerator and denominator, reciprocal of 8

3

is 3

8

) of the second fraction. next, multiply the two numerators. then, multiply the two denominators. in the next intermediate step the fraction result cannot be further simplified by cancelling.

in words - five eighths divided by eight thirds = fifteen sixty-fourths. i hope i you: d

step-by-step explanation:

answer: 1/5 = -8

step-by-step explanation: hol up

step-by-step explanation:

the multiplicative inverse of a fraction a/b is b/a. for the multiplicative inverse of a real number, divide 1 by the number. for example, the reciprocal of 5 is one fifth 1/5 or 0.2, and the reciprocal of 0.25 is 1 divided by 0.25, or 4.
