Evaluate a/b for a= 11/4 and b= -1/6
Show All Work
a/b = (11/4) / (-1/6)
Remember, when we divide fractions, we just change to multiplication and "flip" the second fraction...so we have...
11/4 * -6/1 =
11/4 * -6 =
-66/4 = -33/2
a/b, where a = 11/4 and b = -1/6
(11/4)/(-1/6)
This is the same as dividing 11/4 by -1/6.
So,
11/4*-6
-66/4, or -16 1/2.
