What is the value of a/b when a = -1/4 and b=-5/6?

2 Answers

+6/20=3/10

Explanation:

it is (-1/4)/(-5/6) firstly lets get rid of - signs,
it becomes (1/4)/(5/6), now we can convert division to multiplication by reversing denominator:

it becomes 1/4 * 6/5 = 6/20

which reduces to 3/10

a=-1/4; b=-5/6

a/b = (-1/4)/(-5/6)

=(1/4)/(5/6)

=(1/4)(6/5)

=3/10
