Okay I'm assuming this is a mixed fraction -4 ⅗ ÷ 11/5

First step get rid of the mixed fraction.

4 multiplied by 5 is 20 then you add 3 and you get 23

Next step cross cancel

-23 times 11 equals -23

5 5 11

improper fraction so convert to mixed number

answer is -2 1/11

if you're still confused lemme know

let's firstly convert the mixed fractions to improper fractions and then divide.


\bf \stackrel{mixed}{-4(3)/(5)}\implies \cfrac{-4\cdot 5+3}{5}\implies \stackrel{improper}{\cfrac{-23}{5}}~\hfill \stackrel{mixed}{1(1)/(5)}\implies \cfrac{1\cdot 5+1}{5}\implies \stackrel{improper}{\cfrac{6}{5}} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ \cfrac{-23}{5}/ \cfrac{6}{5}\implies \cfrac{-23}{\begin{matrix} 5 \\[-0.7em]\cline{1-1}\\[-5pt]\end{matrix}}\cdot \cfrac{\begin{matrix} 5 \\[-0.7em]\cline{1-1}\\[-5pt]\end{matrix}}{6}\implies \cfrac{-23}{6}\implies -3(5)/(6)
