Okay, I have 2 problems.
1.Is -3/7 divided by 5/14 = -1 1/5? Is that correct?
---
(-3/7)/(5/14) = (-3/7)*(14/5) = (-3/1)(2/5) = -6/5 = -1 1/5
----------------------------------------------------------------
2.Is 3 3/5 - 4 1/2 = -1 1/10 is that also correct?
(18/5) - (9/2) = ((36-45)/10 = -11/10 = -1 1/10
====
Both correct.
