Question

10. By what number should
-55/18 be divided to get -22/9 ?

​

Answer 1

Answer:

In mathematics, a multiplicative inverse or reciprocal for a number x, denoted by 1/x or x⁻¹, is a number which when multiplied by x yields the multiplicative identity, 1. The multiplicative inverse of a fraction a/b is b/a. For the multiplicative inverse of a real number, divide 1 by the number.

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

dividend= -55/8

quotient= -23/9

remainder= 0

divisor = (dividend - remainder)/quotient

$= - \frac{55}{18} \div - \frac{22}{9}$

$= \frac{55}{18} \times \frac{9}{22}$

$= \frac{5}{4}$

$required \: divisor = \frac{5}{4}$
