oops, here is the full question: n/-1.5=1.2

pooja195 (pooja195):

Ok try it yourself =) list your steps

OpenStudy (landon34):

do I divide -1.5 from both sides? :/

pooja195 (pooja195):

Nope we multiply by the reciprocal

OpenStudy (landon34):

oh ok

pooja195 (pooja195):

reciprocal=flip of the fraction

OpenStudy (landon34):

no, thats a division sign.

pooja195 (pooja195):

I know you still need to flip it n/-1.5=-1.5/n 1.2 x -1.5=?

OpenStudy (landon34):

-1.8
