Answer 2

i mean 1.388888889

Answer 3

Whats ur work though?

Answer 4

Is it (3/8-(9/4))/((-5/4)+(-1/10))?

Answer 5

yes

Answer 6

So, first you need to find common denominators for the fractions that are adding/subtracting each other; ((3/8)-(9/4)) has the common denominator 8.\[((3/8)-(9/4))\left| \right| (-9/4)*(2/2)\rightarrow (-18/8)\rightarrow ((3/8)-(18/8))=(-15/8)\] (-5/4) and (-1/10) have the common denominator is 40 (just multiply the denominators together). \[(-5/4)+(-1/10)\rightarrow (-5/4)*(10/10) + (-1/10)*(4/4)\rightarrow(-50/40)+(-4/40)\]\[=(-54/40)\]
Now divide: \[(-15/8)/(-54/40)\rightarrow (-15/8)*(-40/58)\]
Multiply straight across and that's your answer :)
