How to figure out - 2 3/4 divided by 1/2

-1

Step-by-step explanation:

Put - 2 3/4 into an improper fraction - 6/4

Then put it into a decimal - 1.5

Then put 1/2 into a decimal 1.5

Then divide - 1.5 by 1.5

You would get - 1

Answer: - 5 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

When dividing fractions, we follow a rule called "Keep, change. flip." You keep the first fraction the same, change the division symbol to a multiplication symbol, and flip the last fraction.

-2 3/4 turned into an improper fraction: 4 * 2 + 3 = 11/4

11 * 2 = 22

4 * 1 = 4

= - 22/4

4 goes into 22 5 times, but we'd still have 1 left over.

5 2/4

This can be reduced once more to 5 1/2

Then we add the negative sign back in.

-5 1/2.
