A Fraction with a Negative Exponent within a Fraction

[samwong]

When there is a fraction with a negative exponent within another fraction, do you just take the reciprocal of the fraction with the negative exponent?

I made up this problem:

[(1/2)exp(-1)] / [{(2/3)exp(-1)}x(3/4)]

x=multiply

Is the answer 16/9?

Thank you.

Hello samwong! By exp, i hope you din't mean the exponential e? i am hoping not! So you are right in your solution.
