Answer 2

First thing is first, how do we make the two denominators correspond and be the same value?

Answer 3

I don't believe you can go backwards for the LCD.

Answer 4

Then explain how I would work it out please.

Answer 5

You don't need an LCD for division

Answer 6

\[\frac{ 8 }{ -3 } \div \frac{ -4 }{ 9 } = \frac{ -3 }{ 8 } \times \frac{ -4 }{ 9 }\]

Answer 7

You can reduce

Answer 8

Doesn't it say multiply on the attachment?

Answer 9

Alright, forgive me, I was looking at the previous asker's attachment.

Answer 10

\[\frac{ -1 }{ 2 } \times \frac{ -1 }{ 3 }\]

Answer 11

How did you get that?

Answer 12

How I did was I multiplied across which is the wrong way can you explain how to do it the right way? @ShadowLegendX

Answer 13

You multiply like this

\[\frac{ -1 }{ 2 } \times \frac{ \rightarrow -1 }{ \rightarrow 3} \]

Answer 14

Straight across

Answer 15

hmm

Answer 16

So I did get it correct when I said -1/5? @ShadowLegendX If so then how do we turn this into a number?

Answer 17

I took a wrong turn somewhere, let me retrace my steps

Answer 18

Ok, got it, follow these steps as I put them

Answer 19

We begin,

\[\frac{ 8 }{ -3 } \div \frac{ -4 }{ 9 } = \frac{ 8 }{ -3 } \times \frac{ 9 }{ -4 }\]

We reduce

\[\frac{ 2 }{ -1 } \times \frac{ 3 }{ -1 } = \frac{ 6 }{ 1 } = 6\]

Answer 20

You turn the second fraction over, not the first one. My bad

Answer 21

Okay thanks

Answer 22

No problem
