Favorite Answer
Simply take -5/7 and multiply it by 5/7 (that is the reciprocal).
This will give you -25/49
– 5/7 divided by 7/5
will be
-5/7 * 5/7
5/7 is the reciprocal of 7/5
so -5*5 = -25
and 7*7 = 49
so the answer is
= – 25/49
it doesnt matter where you put the negative sign in the fraction, (whether it is on the numerator or the denominator) as long as you do not miss it out.
to DIVIDE fractions, invert the divisor fraction and multiply.
in your example
-5/7 divided by 7/5 =
-5/7 multiplied by 5/7 =
(-5 * 5)/(7*7)= -25/49
e.g. – 5/7 DIVIDED BY 7/5
becomes -5/7 X 5/7
which is = -25/49
.
=> -5/7*5/7(as it is divide sign so i interchanged)
=>-25/49(answer)
(-5/7)/(7/5) = (-5*5)/(7*7)
the highest multiples the lowest an the middle ones multiply them for each other
-7 times 7 is -49 so you get -25/-49 I think
7*5=35
So the answer is -35 over 35
