Question

how about -9 divided by (-4) show as an imporper fraction)

Answer 1

- 9 / - 4
When dividing fractions you " flip " the number you are dividing by and then you multiply. Also remember that a negative divided by a negative equals a positive. Knowing this, lets do the problem....
- 9 / - 4
- 9 x - 1/4 (you see how I flipped what I was dividing by)
Now multiply....
- 9/ 1 x - 1/4
9/4 ( a negative divided by a negative equals a positive.

Answer 2

9/4

Answer 3

Answer 4

This is somewhat straightforward.

We started with: -9 divided by (-4)

As a fraction, that's (-9)/(-4)
We simplify that to 9/4 (because a negative divided by a negative gives a positive)
9/4 is an improper fraction, so we're done!

Hope that helps!

Answer 6

P.S.
You only need to do the "flip and multiply" thing if the second number is a fraction.

For example, "15 divided by 3" can be written as a simply as "15/3", a simple fraction, without doing all that flipping and multiplying.
Or "1 divided by 2" is simply one half, or 1/2!

Hope that doesn't make it more confusing! :-)
