Q. Unit Exam - Algebraic Language and Expressions\newlineFind the quotient.\newlineSimplify your answer completely.\newline6549=[?] \frac{\frac{6}{5}}{-\frac{4}{9}}=-\underline{[?]} \newlineEnter the number that belongs in the green box.
  1. Understand the problem: Step 11: Understand the problem.\newlineWe need to find the quotient of the fraction (65)(\frac{6}{5}) divided by (49)(-\frac{4}{9}).
  2. Convert to multiplication: Step 22: Convert the division of fractions into multiplication.\newlineRecall that dividing by a fraction is equivalent to multiplying by its reciprocal.\newline65\frac{6}{5}/49\frac{-4}{9} = 65\frac{6}{5} * 94\frac{-9}{4}
  3. Multiply numerators and denominators: Step 33: Multiply the numerators and the denominators.\newlineMultiply the numerators: 6×9=546 \times -9 = -54\newlineMultiply the denominators: 5×4=205 \times 4 = 20\newlineSo, (65)×(94)=5420(\frac{6}{5}) \times (\frac{-9}{4}) = \frac{-54}{20}
  4. Simplify the fraction: Step 44: Simplify the fraction.\newlineBoth 54-54 and 2020 can be divided by 22.\newline54÷2=27-54 \div 2 = -27, 20÷2=1020 \div 2 = 10\newlineSo, 54/20-54/20 simplifies to 27/10-27/10.
