Question

find the value of -1/8 ÷ -3/5​

Answer 1

Solution:

To find: The value of $\frac{-1}{8}$ ÷ $\frac{-3}{5}$

Note:

• To overcome the division of rational numbers we just change division into multiplication by taking the reciprocal or multiplicative inverse of the second rational number

Now let's proceed!

• The reciprocal of the second number $\frac{-3}{5}$ is $\frac{5}{-3}$ .

So, we'll multiply them together.

• $\frac{-1}{8}$ * $\frac{5}{-3}$  = $\frac{-5}{-24}$ = $\frac{5}{24}$

Answer: 5/24

Answer 2

Given - Fractional numbers

Find - Value

Solution - The solution is 5/24 or 0.2.

The division will be done to find the value of given fractions.

Thus, Value =

$\frac{ - 1 \div 8}{ - 3 \div 5}$

Now, we will be multiplying 1 and 5, which will be the numerator. The denominator will be multiplication of 8 and 3. Representing this mathematically -

Value =

$\frac{ - 1 \times 5}{ - 3 \times 8}$

Value =

$\frac{ - 5}{ - 24}$

Minus sign will be cancelled as it is present on both numerator and denominator.

So, the value will be 5/24 or 0.2.
