Hello!

The answer is:

Option C.


(14)/(19)

Why?

To perform fraction division, we need to follow the convert the expression and multiply the first fraction (numerator) by the inverse of the second fraction (denominator).

For example:


((a)/(b) )/((c)/(d) )=(a)/(b)*(d)/(c)

So, we are given the following expression:


-(10)/(19)/ (-(5)/(7))

Which is equal to:


(-10)/(19)/ ((-5)/(7))

Then, calculating we have:


(-10)/(19)/ ((-5)/(7))=(10)/(19)*(7)/(5)\\\\(10)/(19)*(7)/(5)=(10*7)/(19*5)=(70)/(95)\\\\(70)/(95)=(5*14)/(5*19)=(14)/(19)

Hence, we have that the correct option is:

Option C.


(14)/(19)

Have a nice day!

ANSWER

The correct answer is C

Step-by-step explanation

We want to find the quotient:


- (10)/(19) / ( - (5)/(7) )

We multiply by the reciprocal of the second fraction:


- (10)/(19) * ( - (7)/(5) )

We cancel out the common factors to obtain:


- (2)/(19) * ( - (7)/(1) )

We multiply to get


( - 2 * - 7)/(19 * 1)

This simplifies to :


(14)/(19)

The correct answer is C
