Question

-1/8
$\frac{ - 1}{8} \div \frac{ - 2}{13}$
please solve it with explaination

Answer 1

We always take out the reciprocal of the fraction whenever we divide it. As we can only do cutting in multiplying.

So the equation will be,

$\frac{ - 1}{8} \: \times \: \frac{ - 13}{2}$

(We inserted -ve on 13 because negative can't ever be on the denominator.)

(-ve × -ve = +ve)

After cancellation...

In fraction,

$\frac{13}{16}$

In decimals,

0.8125
