Question

$$\frac{ 11 }{ 16 } \div - \frac{ 33 }{ 8 }$$

Evaluate

$-\frac{1}{6}\approx -0.166666667$

Solution Steps

Divide $\frac{11}{16}$ by $-\frac{33}{8}$ by multiplying $\frac{11}{16}$ by the reciprocal of $-\frac{33}{8}$.

$$\frac{11}{16}\left(-\frac{8}{33}\right)$$

Multiply $\frac{11}{16}$ times $-\frac{8}{33}$ by multiplying numerator times numerator and denominator times denominator.

$$\frac{11\left(-8\right)}{16\times 33}$$

Do the multiplications in the fraction $\frac{11\left(-8\right)}{16\times 33}$.

$$\frac{-88}{528}$$

Reduce the fraction $\frac{-88}{528}$ to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out $88$.

$$-\frac{1}{6}$$

Factor

$-\frac{1}{6} = -0.16666666666666666$
