Question

$$\frac{(-16)}{21}\div\frac{(-4)}{3}$$

Evaluate

$\frac{4}{7}\approx 0.571428571$

Solution Steps

Divide $\frac{-16}{21}$ by $\frac{-4}{3}$ by multiplying $\frac{-16}{21}$ by the reciprocal of $\frac{-4}{3}$.

$$\frac{-16\times 3}{21\left(-4\right)}$$

Cancel out $3\times 4$ in both numerator and denominator.

$$\frac{-4}{-7}$$

Fraction $\frac{-4}{-7}$ can be simplified to $\frac{4}{7}$ by removing the negative sign from both the numerator and the denominator.

$$\frac{4}{7}$$

Factor

$\frac{2 ^ {2}}{7} = 0.5714285714285714$
