Question

By what number should 27/16 be divided to get -15/8​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

let the number be x.

27/16 ÷ x = -15/8

27/16 x 1/x = -15/8

1/x = -15/8 ÷ 27/16

1/x = -15/8 x 16/27

1/x = -15 x 2/27

1/x = -5 x 2/9

1/x = -10/9

9 = -10x

x = 9/-10

27/16 should be divided by 9/-10 to get -15/8.
