Answer 8

Issue: \(4 \div -4\frac{ 1 }{ 2 }\)


you have a **mixed fraction** in \(-4\frac{ 1 }{ 2 }\) so we can call it: \(-\frac{ 9 }{ 2 }\) which is an **improper fraction** but very useful

And our problem becomes:

\(4 \div -\frac{ 9 }{ 2 }\)

where the **divisor** is a fraction, you can just flip it and do a multiplication, thusly:

\(4 \div -\frac{ 9 }{ 2 } = 4 \times -\frac{ 2 }{ 9 }\)

as to why: \(\dfrac{a}{b} \div \dfrac{c}{d} = \dfrac{a}{b} \times \dfrac{d}{c}\)..... play around with the ideas and it seems obvious :)
