Question

use the invert-and-multiply rule to divide. Reduce your answer to lowest terms.4 divide (- 2/5)

Answer 1

ANSWER:

- 10

STEP-BY-STEP EXPLANATION:

We have the following expression

$4\div\mleft(-\frac{2}{5}\mright)$

We know that when dividing from, the nvert-and-multiply rule must be applied, as follows

$\begin{gathered} 4\div\mleft(-\frac{2}{5}\mright)\rightarrow4\times\mleft(-\frac{5}{2}\mright)=\frac{4\cdot-5}{2}=\frac{-20}{2}=-10 \\ \end{gathered}$

Therefore the result of the operation is -10
