Answer 1

Bonjour!

$= > - 9\frac{3}{4} \div 1 \frac{3}{40} \\ \\ = > \frac{ - 39}{4} \div \frac{43}{40} \\ \\ = > - \frac{39}{4} \times \frac{40}{43} \\ \\ = > - \frac{390}{43}$

Hope this helps...:)

Answer 2

Solution :

Value of ( -9 3/4 ) ÷ ( 1 3/40 )

= ( - 39/4 ) ÷ ( 43/40 )

= ( -39/4 ) × ( 40/43 )

= - ( 39 × 40 )/( 4 × 43 )

After cancellation , we get

= - ( 390 )/43
