You can put this solution on YOUR website!
if what you are asking is:
\n" ); document.write( "-63 divided by 21 divided by 5\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "it may be easier if you set it up like this:
\n" ); document.write( "(-63/21) / (5)\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "then look at it as two fractions:
\n" ); document.write( "-63/21 divided by 5/1
\n" ); document.write( "(since any whole number may be written as having denominator 1)\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "to divide fractions, invert (flip upside down) the second fraction and multiply:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"-63%2F21\"$ x $\"1%2F5\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "so $\"%28-63%2F21%29\"$ X $\"%281%2F5%29\"$ = $\"-63%2F105\"$
\n" ); document.write( "all that's left is simplifying, as needed \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
