Answer 1

Answer:

a)

-5/4 ÷ -3/4= -3/4 ÷ -5/4

-5/4 × -4/3 = -3/4 ×-4/5

5/3 is not equal to 3/5

b)

5/8 ÷ -5/16 = -5/16 ÷ 5/8

5/8 × -16×5 = -5/16 × 8/5

-2 is not equal to -1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

when divide sign changes to multiply then the reciprocal takes place of the term present after the sign
