-2/3 divided by 2 1/4 simplified

(-8)/27

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplify the following:

(-2)/(3 (2 + 1/4))

Put 2 + 1/4 over the common denominator 4. 2 + 1/4 = (4×2)/4 + 1/4:

(-2)/(3 (4×2)/4 + 1/4)

4×2 = 8:

(-2)/(3 (8/4 + 1/4))

8/4 + 1/4 = (8 + 1)/4:

(-2)/(3 (8 + 1)/4)

8 + 1 = 9:

((-2)/3)/(9/4)

Multiply the numerator by the reciprocal of the denominator, ((-2)/3)/(9/4) = (-2)/3×4/9:

(-2×4)/(3×9)

3×9 = 27:

(-2×4)/27

-2×4 = -8:

(-8)/27

-8/27
