How do you devide a negitive by a positive fraction?
A fraction is divided by a fraction,
by the dividend multiplied by the inverse of the divisor.
\(\frac{3}{4} :\frac{1}{2} =\frac{3}{4} \times \frac{2}{1}=\frac{6}{4}= 1\frac{1}{2} \)
\(\frac{4}{7} :-\frac{2}{3} =\frac{4}{7} \times -\frac{3}{2}=-\frac{12}{14}= -\frac{6}{7} \)
\(-\frac{4}{7} :\frac{2}{3} =-\frac{4}{7} \times \frac{3}{2}=-\frac{12}{14}= -\frac{6}{7} \)
