ANSWER


2 (2)/(5)

EXPLANATION

The given expression is


- 1 (3)/(5) / - (2)/(3)

Change the mixed number to improper fraction


= -(8)/(5) / - (2)/(3)

Multiply by the reciprocal of the second fraction.


= -(8)/(5) * - (3)/(2)

Cancel the common factors


= -(4)/(5) * - (3)/(1)

Simplify


= (12)/(5)

Rewrite as a mixed number;


= 2 (2)/(5)
