Answers
Answer:
your question is answered
Answer: -2/15
now i'll show you how i got that answer but before we do that please do keep the following rules in mind:
1) if a rational number is divided by another rational number then we can change the division to multiplication only if we take the reciprocal of the numbers
reciprocal: it means thhe opposite of a number so like the reciprocal of 2/5 would be 5/2 and the reciprocal of -1/3 would be 3/-1
so now that we know these rules, let's answer it
2/5 / -1/3 according to rule number 1 we can make it
5/2 x -1/3 so now we multiply 2 by -1 and 5 by 3 so
-2/15 is the answer, we can further divide it and write it in decimal if you want, the decimal form of the answer would be
0.1333...
hope this helps you by any means
it would be delightful if you could mark this answer as the brainliest
