Solve (-11/2)div(+5/6)=

$$( - 1 \frac { 1 } { 2 } ) \div ( + \frac { 5 } { 6 } ) =$$

Evaluate

$$-\frac{9}{5}=-1.8$$

Solution Steps

Multiply 1 and 2 to get 2.

$$\frac{-\frac{2+1}{2}}{\frac{5}{6}}$$

Add 2 and 1 to get 3.

$$\frac{-\frac{3}{2}}{\frac{5}{6}}$$

Divide -\frac{3}{2} by \frac{5}{6} by multiplying -\frac{3}{2} by the reciprocal of \frac{5}{6}.

$$-\frac{3}{2}\times \frac{6}{5}$$

Multiply -\frac{3}{2} times \frac{6}{5} by multiplying numerator times numerator and denominator times denominator.

$$\frac{-3\times 6}{2\times 5}$$

Do the multiplications in the fraction \frac{-3\times 6}{2\times 5}.

$$\frac{-18}{10}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{-18}{10} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 2.

$$-\frac{9}{5}$$

Factor

$$-\frac{9}{5} = -1\frac{4}{5} = -1.8$$
