Answer 1

Answer:

Esmeralda did not use the reciprocal of the divisor

Esmeralda added the numerators

Esmeralda added the denominators

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

$-5\frac{1}{4}=-(\frac{5*4+1}{4})=-\frac{21}{4}$ ----> Esmeralda convert the mixed number to a correct improper fraction

$\frac{-\frac{21}{4}}{\frac{3}{2}} =(-\frac{21}{4})(\frac{2}{3})=-(\frac{21*2}{4*3})=-\frac{42}{12}= -3.5$

therefore

Esmeralda did not use the reciprocal of the divisor

Esmeralda added the numerators

Esmeralda added the denominators
