Question

What is `-0.003 -: (-0.5)`?

Answer 1

`0.006`

Explanation:

First notice that we have a negative divided by a negative, so the result will be positive.

Now we still need `0.003 -: 0.5`.

There are various ways to do this, but rather than use a general kind of solution, let's just do this one problem,

`0.5 = 1/2`. So,

`0.003 -: 0.5 = 0.003 -: 1/2`.

Dividing by a fraction is multiplying by its reciprocal and the reciprocal of `1/2` is `2`.

`0.003 -: 0.5 = 0.003 -: 1/2 = 0.003 xx 2 = 0.006`.

And, we're finished.
