Question

By what rational number should 22/7 be divided, to get the number - 11/24?​

Answer 1

Answer:

x = -48 / 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the rational number be x.

so...

22/7 ÷ x = -11/24

22/7 ÷ x/1 = -11/24

22/7 × 1/x = -11/24 (By reciprocal)

22/7x = -11/24

7x = -11/24 × 22

7x × -11 = 24 × 22

x = 24 × 22 / 7 × -11

x = 24 × -2 / 7

x = -48 / 7

Therefore x = -48 / 7....

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

x = -48 / 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the rational number be x.

so...

22/7 ÷ x = -11/24

22/7 ÷ x/1 = -11/24

22/7 × 1/x = -11/24 (By reciprocal)

22/7x = -11/24

7x = -11/24 × 22

7x × -11 = 24 × 22

x = 24 × 22 / 7 × -11

x = 24 × -2 / 7

x = -48 / 7

Therefore x = -48 / 7....
