Question

Solve the division problem: $\frac{9}{10}$ divided by $\frac{-3}{5}$, write as a mixed number.

Answer 1

Solve for the required value:

A mixed number consists of a number and a proper fraction.

Given that $\frac{9}{10}$ divided by $\frac{-3}{5}$

$\begin{array}{cl}=& \frac{\left({\displaystyle \frac{9}{10}}\right)}{\left({\displaystyle \frac{-3}{5}}\right)}\\ =& \frac{9}{10}\times \frac{5}{-3}\\ =& \frac{-3}{2}\\ =& -1\frac{1}{2}\end{array}$

Hence, the required value is $-1\frac{1}{2}$.
