first convert it to a mixed number. -8 43/100
then make an improper fraction -843/100
then take the recirocal -100/843
multiply by .3 to get the answer
(in short, multiply the reciprocal of the fracion)
the fact that it is negative only means that your answer is negative.

- devided by - is +
+ devided by - or vise vursa = negative

You shouldn't have a decimal in a fraction (-8.43/.3), so you need to make .3 a whole number. The easiest way to do this is to divide by ten, so you have -84.3/3. Then multiply by 10 again to get -843/30.

Let's say you have a Music CD you want to buy.
You are 8.43 dollars “short”. That means you are at “-8.43” dollars.
You want to find out how many days it would take to buy this CD if you save 0.30 dollars (30 cents) per day.
To do this, you need to figure out how many 0.30s are in $8.43, so you separate (=divide) $8.43 into 0.3.
8.43 / 0.3 = 28.1
You are 28.1 days “behind”. That means you are at “-28.1” days.

Think about it this way, because you have -8.43 and are dividing it by a positive number your answer must be negative.

what is -3 times -3 it is POSITIVE 9
or -3 times 3 is NEGATIVE 9

HOPE THIS HELPS
