Answer 5

so whenever you divide fractions

Answer 6

you keep the first fraction as it is. then you switch the sign from division to multiplication and then you flip the second fraction.

Now it becomes this:

\[\frac{ -3 }{ 8 } • \frac{ 9}{ 5 }\]

Answer 24

You have the following problem:\[(-\frac{ 3 }{ 8 } )\div \frac{ 5 }{ 9 }\] Tiy are dividing -3/8 by 5/9.

To divide by a fraction, invert (turn upside down) that fraction. Multiply the result. Show your work if you want feedback on it...your work, not just your answer.

Answer 25

okay!

Answer 26

What do you need to know? I don't want to repeat my instructions.

Answer 27

i know

Answer 28

I know its -27/40

So,I got that from
-3/8 divided by 5/9
and inverse it -3/8 divided by 9/5 so 27/40
and there is a negative so -27/40
