Algebra -2/3 divided by 2/9 ?

Question

The question says to divide where possible. I need to know what this equals.

Answer 1

-2/3 divided by 2/9

use the reciprocal and multiply.

-2/3 X 9/2 = -18/6 which now simplifies to be -3.

The Answer is -3, i hope that helped!! =)

Answer 2

you just KISS it:

-2/3  /  2/9

Keep It: -2/3

Switch: / becomes x

Switch: and 2/9 becomes 9/2

Then you just multiply straight across

-2 x 9 equals -18

and 3 x 2 equals six

so you do -18 divided by 6

which is -3

and that is the answer...hope i helped a little

Answer 3

Invert the 2/9 ===> 9/2

Then multiply

- 2/3 * 9/2 = ?

The 2s cancel

-1/3 * 9/1 =

-9/3 = -3

QED

Answer 4

The same way you divide any two fractions: flip the second one over and multiply straight across.

(-2/3) / (2/9) =

(-2/3) * (9/2) =

-18 / 6 =

-3

Answer 5

omg. just search it in google. it has a great calculator. :)

Answer 6

Remember that division of fraction is the same as multiplication by the reciprocal, so flip the second fraction:

-2 / 3    *    9 / 2    =    -18 / 6

Divide top and bottom by 6:

-3/1 = -3

The answer is (-3)

Answer 7

To divide a fraction, you flip it and multiply so

-2/3 divided by 2/9 is the same as

-2/3 multiplied by 9/2

Multiply the tops and put it over the product of the bottoms:

(-2*9)/(3*2)

-18/6 =

-3
