Simplify: (-65/14) ÷ (13/-7)

Answer»

(-65/14) ÷ (13/-7)

First we write (13/-7) in standard form

= (13×-1)/ (-7×-1)

= (-13/7)

We have,

= (-65/14) × (7/-13) … [∵ reciprocal of (-13/7) is (7/-13)]

The product of two rational numbers = (product of their numerator)/ (product of their denominator)

= (-65×7) / (14×-13)

On simplifying,

= (-5×1) / (2×-1)

= (-5) / (-2)

= (5/2)
