Question

by what number should -4 whole 3 by 8 be divided to obtain -3 whole 1 by 2 ​

Answer 1

Answer:

15 5/16

Step-by-step explanation:

-4 3/8 ÷ ? = -3 1/2

-35/8 ÷ ? = -7/2

? = -7/2 × -35/8

? = 245/16

? = 15 5/16

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be x

-4 3/8÷x=-3 1/2

-35/8/x=-7/2

x=(-35/8)/(-7/2)

x=(-35/8)(-2/7)

therefore x=5/4
