Question

-2/5 divide (-3) multiply and reduce to lowest terms.

Answer 1

Answer:

2/15

Explanation:

Given the expression:

$-\frac{2}{5}\div(-3)$

First, change the division sign to times by taking the reciprocal of the number after the sign:

$=-\frac{2}{5}\times-\frac{1}{3}$

Next, multiply the numerators and denominators:

$\begin{gathered} =\frac{(-2)\times(-1)}{5\times3} \\ =\frac{2}{15} \end{gathered}$

The fraction is already in its lowest form as required.
