What is -2 1/2 divided by 6 ?

OpenStudy (bloomlocke367):

do you know where to begin?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No! I'm so lost

OpenStudy (bloomlocke367):

okay. there are more than one way to do this. the easiest would be to convert -2 1/2 to a decimal.

OpenStudy (bloomlocke367):

which is -2.5

OpenStudy (bloomlocke367):

you could do long division and just disregard the negative for the moment.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2.4?

OpenStudy (bloomlocke367):

does that make sense? and of course it would be negative.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeah! For some reason I did it the opposite??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-2 1/6 is the answer?

OpenStudy (bloomlocke367):

it's okay :) and -5/12 is your answer, actually. how did you get -2 1/6?
