Question

simplify = (-4/9 ÷ 5/12) -7/8​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

We have,

=(4/9)×(12/−5) [∵ reciprocal of (−5/12) is (12/−5)]

The product of two rational numbers= (product of their numerator)/(product of their denominator)

=

(9×−5)

(4×12)

On simplifying,

=

(3×−5)

(4×4)

=(−16/15)

Answer 2

Answer:

(-4/9÷5/12)

i.e (-4/9×12/5)-7/8

-4/3×4/5-7/8

=-16/15-7/8

=-128-112/120

=240/120=2
