Solution

2 \frac{3}{4}

Solution steps

(- 11/2) / (- 2)

Follow the PEMDAS order of operations

Calculate within parentheses

(- 11/2) : \frac{- 11}{2}

- 11/2

- 11/2 = \frac{- 11}{2}

= \frac{- 11}{2}

= \frac{- 11}{2} / (- 2)

Multiply and divide (left to right)

\frac{- 11}{2} / (- 2) : \frac{11}{4}

\frac{- 11}{2} / (- 2)

Apply rule

a / (- b) = - a / b

\frac{- 11}{2} / (- 2) = - \frac{- 11}{2} /2

Convert element to fraction:

2 = \frac{2}{1}

= - \frac{- 11}{2} \div \frac{2}{1}

Apply the fraction rule:

\frac{a}{b} \div \frac{c}{d} = \frac{a}{b} \times \frac{d}{c}

= - \frac{- 11}{2} \cdot \frac{1}{2}

Apply the fraction rule:

\frac{- a}{b} = - \frac{a}{b}

= - \frac{1}{2} (- \frac{11}{2})

Apply rule

- (- a) = a

= \frac{11}{2} \cdot \frac{1}{2}

Multiply fractions:

\frac{a}{b} \cdot \frac{c}{d} = \frac{a \cdot c}{b \cdot d}

= \frac{11 \cdot 1}{2 \cdot 2}
