• A. $\frac{3}{4}$
• B. $\frac{1}{2}$
• C. $\frac{5}{2}$

Answer 1

The correct option is A $\frac{3}{4}$

$\text{On dividing}\frac{-33}{8}\text{by a number, we get}\frac{-11}{2}.$

$\text{Let the required number be}x.$

$\Rightarrow \frac{-33}{8}÷x=\frac{-11}{2}$

$\Rightarrow \frac{-33}{8}=x\times \frac{-11}{2}$

$\Rightarrow \frac{-33}{8}÷\frac{-11}{2}=x$

$\Rightarrow x=\frac{-33}{8}\times \frac{-2}{11}$

$\Rightarrow x=\frac{3}{4}$

$\text{Hence, the required number is}\frac{3}{4}.$
