Chapter 6.2, Problem 41E

To determine

To find: the quotient

Answer to Problem 41E

The quotient of the provided expression is $\frac{-3}{16}$

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

Consider the expression provided in the question,

  $\frac{-3}{20}÷\frac{4}{5}$

Calculation:

Multiply by the multiplicative inverse of the divisor,

  $\frac{-3}{20}\times \frac{5}{4}$

Divide out by the common factor,

  $\frac{-3}{4}\times \frac{1}{4}=\frac{-3}{16}$

Hence, the quotient of the expression is $\frac{-3}{16}$
