1. 16 / (4/9) can be written as 16 * 9/4 = (16/4)*9 = 4*9 = 36
2. -8 / 4 = -2 just do the division and put the sign as '+' is both dividend and divisor are of same sign and '-' if they are of different signs
3. Similarly 36 / -6 = -6
4. 18/-9 = -2
5. -64/16 = -4

Answer 3

1. since it is dividing a whole number by a fraction you should remember that any whole number has a numerator, which is 1. by doing this division we get the reciprocal of the divisor then multiply it by the dividend

16 x 9/4

4 x 9

36.

2. first disregard the (-) sign

8/4

2

then take back the (-) sign so the answer is

-2.

3. 36/6

6

-6.

4. 18/9

2

-2.

5. 64/16
