I need some help with a question I dont know, here is the question: solve 1/3 x= -4/5. 4/15 -4/15 -2 2/5 2 2/5

OpenStudy (landon34):

this is confusing.

pooja195 (pooja195):

Same concept multiply by the reciprocal -4/5 (3) =?

OpenStudy (landon34):

no, this time, they are fractions

pooja195 (pooja195):

I know, you can always flip a fraction

pooja195 (pooja195):

when doing these types of problems.

OpenStudy (landon34):

oh, ok

OpenStudy (landon34):

so we flip it: 3/1 -5/4

pooja195 (pooja195):

We multiply -4/5 times -3

OpenStudy (landon34):

-2.4

pooja195 (pooja195):

Yes as a fraction you can write it as -12/5

pooja195 (pooja195):

It's already simplifed

pooja195 (pooja195):

You can't reduce it more than it already is reduced.

OpenStudy (landon34):

I meant make it a mixed fraction.

OpenStudy (landon34):

-2 2/5

OpenStudy (landon34):

is that right?

pooja195 (pooja195):

Yes

OpenStudy (landon34):

ok I got it now, thanks.
