Question

-2 1/4 / (-1 1/2) =

A) 1 1/2

B) -1 1/2

C) 3 3/8

D) -3 3/8

Answer 1

Answer:

A) 1 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

First, make sure both of the fractions are improper fractions. -2 1/4 will become -9/4 and -1 1/2 becomes -3/2. Then we do the keep, switch, flip trick and get -9/4 X -2/3 and multiply across. Since we have two negatives, the answer becomes positive. When we multiply across we get 18/12, then we reduce and get 1 6/12 which is the same as 1 1/2.

Answer: 18/12=1 3/12=1 1/4
