a positive number multiplied or divided by a negative number will result in a negative number

but your question is asking for (-2 2/3) not (2 2/3)

true my bad

OpenStudy (sooobored):

if you really care about how to solve it without the calculator, you would need to convert the mixed numbers into improper fractions, and then instead of dividing by the improper fraction, multiply by its reciprocal

i know thx

OpenStudy (sooobored):

so \[\frac{a}{b} \div \frac{c}{d} = \frac{a}{b}\times \frac{d}{c}\]

OpenStudy (sooobored):
