Question

BY WHAT NUMBERS SHOULD (-16)^-1BE DIVIDED SO THAT THE QUOTIENT MAY BE EQUAL TO (-4)^-1

Answer 1

Answer:

by 4

Step-by-step explanation:

you can solve in linear equation or normally. as 16 /4 is 4, so ans is 4

16^-1 = 1/16

1/16 / x = (4^-1) 1/4

x = 1/4 / 6/ 1

So 4 and 16 will get canceled remaining 4

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

given number

${( - 16)}^{ - 1} = \frac{-1}{16}$

Quotient

${(-4)}^{ - 1} = \frac{ - 1}{4}$

ATQ

$\frac{ \frac{ - 1}{16} }{ \frac{ - 1}{4} } = \frac{1}{4}$
