Question

By what number should -27/8 be divided to obtain -7/2?​

Answer 1

Answer:

27/28

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number.

Thus,

-27/8 ÷ x = -7/2.

Now we can write this as

-27/8 × 1/x = -7/2.

This gives

-27/8x = -7/2.

This gives

-27 = -56x/2

-56x = -54.

x = -54/-56

x = 27/28.

x ÷ -27/8 = -7/2

x = -7/2 × 8/-27 = -28/-54

x = 28/54ki ko ko
