Question

By what rational number should 4⅔ be divided to get -1 ⅓​

Answer 1

Answer:

let the no to be divided be x

According to question,

4⅔ ÷ x = -1 ⅓

=> 14/3 ÷ x = -4/3

=> 14/3 × 1/x = -4/3

=> 1/x = -4/3 ÷ 14/3

=> 1/x = -4/3 × 3/14

=> 1/x = -2/7

=> x = -7/2

so 4⅔ should be divided by -7/2 to get -1⅓
