text: home work help.. alls you have to tell me is how do i do it? -8.43 divided by 0.3    i dont want the awnser i dont know how to divide a negitive number .. if u can tell me it would be great.. thank you first convert it to a mixed number. -8 43/100  then make an improper fraction -843/100 then take the recirocal -100/843 multiply by .3 to get the answer (in short, multiply the reciprocal of the fracion)  the fact that it is negative only means that your answer is negative.  - devided by - is + + devided by - or vise vursa = negative
