Question

by what number should we divide 33/16 to get 11/4​

Answer 1

Let the number be x;

As per the question,

(-33/16)/x = (-11/4)

Which means,

x = (-33/16)/(-11/4)

x = (-33 * 4) / (-11 * 16) … as a/b/c/d = ad/bc

x = 33 * 4/11 * 16

x = (33/11) * (4/16)

x = 3 * 1/4

x = 3/4

-33/16 should be divided by 3/4 to get (-11/4).

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be x;

As per the question,

(-33/16)/x = (-11/4)

Which means,

x = (-33/16)/(-11/4)

x = (-33 * 4) / (-11 * 16) … as a/b/c/d = ad/bc

x = 33 * 4/11 * 16

x = (33/11) * (4/16)

x = 3 * 1/4

x = 3/4
