Answer 1

Answer:

3. - 1 52/57

4.  -1 23/135

5. -3 31/36

Step-by-step explanation:

3.  Note the answer will be a negative number because one of the numbers is negative and the other is positive. When we do the division  use positive numbers . Then we can just plug in  the negative.

It looks like  114 will only divide once into 218  because 2*114 = 228 .

So the whole number part is 1. Now subtract 114 from 218  we get  104.

So we have the mixed number 1 104/114. These numbers in the fraction are positive so we divide by 2 to simplify.

This gives us 1 52/57

Finally plug in the negative and we have -1 52/57 (answer)

Q4. In a similar fashion to the above  158 / 135 = 1 and the fraction part is (158-135) / 135 =  23/135,so the answer is  -1 23/135  ( note its negative because of the -135).

Q5.

-834 / 216

216 divides 3 times into 834 and the remainder is 834 - 3 * 216

= 834 - 648 =  186

so the mixed number is -3 186/216

Now simplify 186/216:-

divide each number by 2 , we get  93/108

3 will divide into 93 and 108 giving 31/36

Now plug in the negative.

So the answer is -3 31/36

Answer 2

Answer:

3. $-1\tfrac{52}{57}$

4. $-1\tfrac{23}{135}$

5. $-3 \tfrac{31}{36}$

Step-by-step explanation:

3.

To find :  the quotient when we divide -218 by 114

Solution : As in −218÷114 one of the numbers is negative and the other is positive, quotient must be negative .

$\frac{-218}{114}=\frac{-109}{57}=-1\tfrac{52}{57}$ ( mxed fraction )

( see fig (i) )

4.

To find : the quotient when we divide 158 by 135

Solution: As in 158÷(−135) one of the numbers is negative and the other is positive, quotient must be negative .

$\frac{158}{-135}=-1\tfrac{23}{135}$ ( mixed fraction )

( see fig (ii) )

5.

To find : −834÷216

Solution :

As in −834÷216 one of the numbers is negative and the other is positive, quotient must be negative .

$\frac{-834}{216}=\frac{-417}{108}=\frac{-139}{36}=-3 \tfrac{31}{36}$

( see fig iii )
