Evaluate:
(i) $ \frac{-3}{5} \div 2 $
(ii) $ \frac{-2}{13} \div \frac{1}{7} $

Given:

(i) \( \frac{-3}{5} \div 2 \)
(ii) \( \frac{-2}{13} \div \frac{1}{7} \)

To do:

We have to evaluate the given expressions.
Solution:
 We know that,

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

Therefore,

(i) $\frac{-3}{5} \div 2=\frac{-3}{5} \div \frac{2}{1}$

$=\frac{-3}{5}\times\frac{1}{2}$

$=\frac{-3\times1}{5\times2}$

$=\frac{-3}{10}$.

(ii) $\frac{-2}{13} \div \frac{1}{7}=\frac{-2}{13}\times\frac{7}{1}$

$=\frac{-2\times7}{13\times1}$

$=\frac{-14}{13}$.
