Question 41: Perform the calculation \(\left| {\left( { – 8\frac{2}{5}} \right):\left( { – 2\frac{4}{5}} \right) } \right| \) we get:

We have

\(\left| {\left( { – 8\frac{2}{5}} \right):\left( { – 2\frac{4}{5}} \right)} \right| = \left | {\left( { – \frac{{42}}{5}} \right):\left( { – \frac{{14}}{5}} \right)} \right| = \left| { \left( { – \frac{{42}}{5}} \right).\left( { – \frac{5}{{14}} \right)} \right| = \left| {\frac {{42}}{{14}}} \right| = \left| 3 \right| = 3\)
