Answer:

-
(8)/(45)

Explanation:

Note that
(a)/(b) means a divided by b, a ÷ b

We require to calculate


(4)/(5) ÷ -
(9)/(2)

To perform the division of 2 fractions

Leave the first fraction

Change division to multiplication

Turn the second fraction upside down, that is


(4)/(5) × -
(2)/(9)

There is no cancelling so multiply values on numerators/ denominators

=
(4(-2))/(5(9)) = -
(8)/(45)

Substitute A with 4/5 and B with -9/2:

(4/5)/(-9/2)

Reciprocate the fraction that is being divided:

-9/2 -> -2/9

Now, we multiply:

4/5 * -2/9

-2* 4 = -8

9 * 5 = 45

So, our answer would be -8/45
