Solve Division with Ratio Notation: -1.4 ÷ -7

Let's convert 1.4 to a simple fraction:

$-1.4=-\frac{14}{10}$

Let's convert 7 to a simple fraction:

$-7=-\frac{7}{1}$

Now the exercise we got is:

$-\frac{14}{10}:-\frac{7}{1}=$

Let's convert the division exercise to a multiplication exercise, and don't forget to swap the numerator and denominator in the second fraction:

$-\frac{14}{10}\times-\frac{1}{7}=$

Let's combine into one multiplication exercise:

$+\frac{14\times1}{10\times7}=\frac{14}{10\times7}=$

Let's break down 14 into a multiplication exercise:

$\frac{2\times7}{10\times7}=$

Let's reduce the 7 in both the numerator and denominator and get:

$\frac{2}{10}=$

Let's break down 10 into a multiplication exercise:

$\frac{2}{2\times5}=$

Let's reduce the 2 in both the numerator and denominator and get:

$5$
