Answer:

(24)/(5)

Explanation:

To evaluate division of fractions, that is

(9)/(-5) ÷
(-3)/(8)

Leave the first fraction, change division to multiplication and turn the second fraction upside down

(9)/(-5) ×
(8)/(-3) ( cancel the 9 and 3) giving

(3)/(-5) ×
(8)/(-1)

=
(3(8))/(-5(-1)) =
(24)/(5)
