Answer:

-4.9

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the number 26.95 has two decimal places, it can be turned into a whole number with a denominator having two zeroes; 100

        2695

         100

Then change -5 1/2 into an improper fraction; = -5 × 2 + 1

                                                                                    2

                                           = -11/2

2695 ÷ ( -11 )

 100         2

  Reciprocate (put denominator as numerator and vice-versa ) the equation after the ÷ sign. After doing so, the ÷ sign changes to × sign.

Hence:   2695 × ( 2 )

                 100      -11

Then, cross multiply.

  • 2695 ÷ ( -11 )   =  -245

          100 ÷ 2              50

     -245 ÷ 50

         = -4.9
