Solve -41/3div-21/2

$$- 4 \frac { 1 } { 3 } \div - 2 \frac { 1 } { 2 }$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{26}{15}\approx 1.733333333$$

Solution Steps

Multiply 4 and 3 to get 12.

$$\frac{-\frac{12+1}{3}}{-\frac{2\times 2+1}{2}}$$

Add 12 and 1 to get 13.

$$\frac{-\frac{13}{3}}{-\frac{2\times 2+1}{2}}$$

Multiply 2 and 2 to get 4.

$$\frac{-\frac{13}{3}}{-\frac{4+1}{2}}$$

Add 4 and 1 to get 5.

$$\frac{-\frac{13}{3}}{-\frac{5}{2}}$$

Divide -\frac{13}{3} by -\frac{5}{2} by multiplying -\frac{13}{3} by the reciprocal of -\frac{5}{2}.

$$-\frac{13}{3}\left(-\frac{2}{5}\right)$$

Multiply -\frac{13}{3} times -\frac{2}{5} by multiplying numerator times numerator and denominator times denominator.

$$\frac{-13\left(-2\right)}{3\times 5}$$

Do the multiplications in the fraction \frac{-13\left(-2\right)}{3\times 5}.

$$\frac{26}{15}$$

Factor

$$\frac{2 \cdot 13}{3 \cdot 5} = 1\frac{11}{15} = 1.7333333333333334$$
