so we'd solve this like

48  ÷ -6/7   (now out here we will change the division sign to multiplication one and also reciprocate the second fraction which is -6/7 which then turns to -7/6)

= 48/1 x -7/6  (now out here we have to cut or reduce or cross multiply the two fractions)(here we will cut 6 and 48 which then gives us 8)

=8 x -7  (and now simply multiply them)

= -56   ANSWER

I hope u've understoiod by now but if not then pls be free to ask!

Hope this helps!

Can you provide this answer in a fractional form, zegroes ???

Also...we can't have a positive answer, because we're dividing a positive by a negative....

Yes u did get -3 ...............but i find this a little strange , just for a simple mistake , why did u get -3 for JUST THIS!

Zegroes not only you , ive noticed Stu getting -3 too , for just a simple mistake...........have a look!

http://web2.0calc.com/questions/3x-356x#r9

hmmm...........i see!

i dont know how to help u now , maybe i'll get an idea someother time but in my hands i just have a power of one single point , which i could give you to reduced you -3 to -2 , 

but i would also like to warn you to not post such answers , like

if u had to go to bed , u shouldnt have posted that answer which as made MElody angry , you should explain a answer nicely which would make her give u plus 3 instead of minus 3!

Take care about this!!

I did not give Zegroes thumbs down for a wrong answer.  

I gave it to him for his super slack response when the error was picked up.

-----------------------------

As a seperate issue.  

When you get any answer you should give it a sensibleness check.

A positive divided by a negative is a negative! Zegroes knows this! The answer does not pass the sensibleness check!

ALSO

Fraction questions usually require fraction answers!  

Zegroe's answer is a (wrong) approximation.  This is a recurring decimal!

If you do not have time to answer a question properly, and consider the answer that you have given, then you should not answer it at all!

I am assuming that it was Chris but whoever it was, thank you for your support.

Zegroes, if can't take a little honest criticism you will have difficulty in getting through life.

And Rosala - don't you say a thing!

It is good to see you back Rosala,

Is that a picture of me? Blue always was my colour  

Yes you got just a little scolding.  Not enough of a one to stay away for days though.

Zegroes was feeling bad.  I was saying things that he didn't want to hear.  I didn't want you to say anything to make him him feel even worse.  That is all.

You over reacted.  But I am really glad that you are back.  I like having you here.  You are fun.

from now on i'll take care of what he really means!

anyways, i was just unable to come here becoz i was quiet ill and u know bed has been my best friend the past days!
