Answer 1

(1) Answer = - 2 2/3

(2)Answer : Price wally paid = $80

Explanation:

(1)

We need to find, -3 1/3 ÷ 1 1/4

i.e - 10/3 ÷ 5/4

or -10/3 × 4/5

or -(10 ×4) / (3 ×5)

or -40/15

or -8/3

or -2 2/3 This is the answer

(2) Given, original price of fan = $180

And

Wally paid 4/9 of original price .

i.e Price wally paid = 4/9 * 180

Price wally paid = $80
