The correct Answer is:
Let's simplify each part step by step. ### (i) \(\frac{4}{9} \div \left(-\frac{5}{12}\right)\) 1. **Reciprocal**: Change the division to multiplication by taking the reciprocal of \(-\frac{5}{12}\). \[ \frac{4}{9} \times \left(-\frac{12}{5}\right) \] 2. **Multiply**: Multiply the numerators and the denominators. \[ = \frac{4 \times (-12)}{9 \times 5} = \frac{-48}{45} \] 3. **Simplify**: Divide both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor (GCD), which is 3. \[ = \frac{-16}{15} \] ### (ii) \(-8 \div \left(-\frac{5}{16}\right)\) 1. **Reciprocal**: Change the division to multiplication by taking the reciprocal of \(-\frac{5}{16}\). \[ -8 \times \left(-\frac{16}{5}\right) \] 2. **Multiply**: \[ = \frac{-8 \times -16}{5} = \frac{128}{5} \] ### (iii) \(\frac{-12}{7} \div (-18)\) 1. **Reciprocal**: Change the division to multiplication by taking the reciprocal of \(-18\). \[ \frac{-12}{7} \times \left(-\frac{1}{18}\right) \] 2. **Multiply**: \[ = \frac{-12 \times -1}{7 \times 18} = \frac{12}{126} \] 3. **Simplify**: Divide both the numerator and denominator by their GCD, which is 6. \[ = \frac{2}{21} \] ### (iv) \(\left(-\frac{1}{10}\right) \div \left(-\frac{8}{5}\right)\) 1. **Reciprocal**: Change the division to multiplication by taking the reciprocal of \(-\frac{8}{5}\). \[ \left(-\frac{1}{10}\right) \times \left(-\frac{5}{8}\right) \] 2. **Multiply**: \[ = \frac{1 \times 5}{10 \times 8} = \frac{5}{80} \] 3. **Simplify**: Divide both the numerator and denominator by their GCD, which is 5. \[ = \frac{1}{16} \] ### (v) \(\left(-\frac{16}{35}\right) \div \left(-\frac{15}{14}\right)\) 1. **Reciprocal**: Change the division to multiplication by taking the reciprocal of \(-\frac{15}{14}\). \[ \left(-\frac{16}{35}\right) \times \left(-\frac{14}{15}\right) \] 2. **Multiply**: \[ = \frac{16 \times 14}{35 \times 15} = \frac{224}{525} \] ### (vi) \(\left(-\frac{65}{14}\right) \div \left(\frac{13}{-7}\right)\) 1. **Reciprocal**: Change the division to multiplication by taking the reciprocal of \(\frac{13}{-7}\). \[ \left(-\frac{65}{14}\right) \times \left(-\frac{7}{13}\right) \] 2. **Multiply**: \[ = \frac{65 \times 7}{14 \times 13} \] 3. **Simplify**: \[ = \frac{455}{182} \] Now, divide both the numerator and denominator by their GCD, which is 91. \[ = \frac{5}{2} \] ### Summary of Answers: 1. \(-\frac{16}{15}\) 2. \(\frac{128}{5}\) 3. \(\frac{2}{21}\) 4. \(\frac{1}{16}\) 5. \(\frac{224}{525}\) 6. \(\frac{5}{2}\)
