Question

Verify the following
1/2 ÷ [ -1/3 ÷ 2/5 ] = [ 1/2 ÷ ( -1/3 ) ] ÷ 2/5​

Answer 1

Answer:

1/2 ÷ [ -1/3 ÷ 2/5 ] = [ 1/2 ÷ ( -1/3 ) ] ÷ 2/5

2/1 × -3/1 × 5/2 = 2/1 × -3/1 × 5/2

2 × -3 × 5/2 = 2 × -3 × 5/2

-3 × 5/2 = -3 × 5/2

-15/2 = -15/2

verified

1/2 ÷ [ -1/3 ÷ 2/5 ] = [ 1/2 ÷ ( -1/3 ) ] ÷ 2/5
