Question

By what number should be divide -1/8 to get -3/10

Answer 1

-1/8 divided by -3/10
= 15/4

Answer 2

Answer:

$\frac{5}{12}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let unknown number be $x$

∴ the equation will be $\frac{-1}{8}*\frac{1}{x}=\frac{-3}{10}$

=> $\frac{-1}{8}=\frac{-3x}{10}$

Now cross multiply

∴ it will be $-10= 8*-3x$

=> $-10= -24x$

=> $x=\frac{-10}{-24} = \frac{5}{12}$

∴ $x=\frac{5}{12}$
