Solve -1/8div(-11/2)

$$- \frac{ 1 }{ 8 } \div (-1 \frac{ 1 }{ 2 } )$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{1}{12}\approx 0.083333333$$

Solution Steps

Multiply 1 and 2 to get 2.

$$\frac{-\frac{1}{8}}{-\frac{2+1}{2}}$$

Add 2 and 1 to get 3.

$$\frac{-\frac{1}{8}}{-\frac{3}{2}}$$

Divide -\frac{1}{8} by -\frac{3}{2} by multiplying -\frac{1}{8} by the reciprocal of -\frac{3}{2}.

$$-\frac{1}{8}\left(-\frac{2}{3}\right)$$

Multiply -\frac{1}{8} times -\frac{2}{3} by multiplying numerator times numerator and denominator times denominator.

$$\frac{-\left(-2\right)}{8\times 3}$$

Do the multiplications in the fraction \frac{-\left(-2\right)}{8\times 3}.

$$\frac{2}{24}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{2}{24} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 2.

$$\frac{1}{12}$$

Factor

$$\frac{1}{2 ^ {2} \cdot 3} = 0.08333333333333333$$
