Answer 2

mkay. So the math problem is -92 divided by 1/2 right ?
What you do is write -92 over 1, then you write the reciprocal, or switch, 1/2, which is now gonna be 2/1. so now, instead of dividing it, you multiply. So now, it's gonna be -92 over 1 x 2/1 .

Hope this helps!

Or an easier way, is divide -92 divided by 2(:

Answer 3

92 divided by 1/2 is the same as 92 multiplied by 2/1. You use the reciprocal (is that how it's spelled?) and multiply.

Answer 4

-92 divided by 1= -92
-92 divided by 2=-46
-46

Answer 5

Keep change flip

You keep the -92 and put that over 1
You change the division sign to multiplication
You flip the 1/2 to 2/1
So you get:

-92 over 1 x 2 over 1

So you get -184, I think. Sorry if I'm wrong, I'm only an 8th grader

Answer 6

Use parenthesis next time.

The fraction can be (-92/1)/2 = -46
or -92/(1/2) = -184 <-- this is probably what you meant.

Answer 7

flip the 1/2 and bring it ti the top, and then cuz u flip the fractio u flip the sign, from division to multiplication, so you and up with

-92 x 2/1 = -184

Answer 8

-92/1/2 becomes -92x 2/1 [you reverse the denominator and numerartor], so -92 x2= 184 [ans].

Answer 9

-92/1/* 1/2
-46

Answer 10
