Here is your answer:

First you need to change the mixed numbers into improper fractions:


  • -3(5)/(9) = (-32)/(9)

  • 5(1)/(3) = (16)/(3)
  • Now divide:

  • (-32)/(9) / (16)/(3)
  • Use KCF:

  • (-32)/(9) * (3)/(16)
  • Now solve:

  • (-32)/(9) * (3)/(16) = (96)/(144)
  • Reduce:

  • (96)/(144) / 2 = (48)/(72) / 2 = (24)/(36) / 2 = (12)/(18) / 2 = (6)/(9) / 3 = (2)/(3)

  • = (-2)/(3)

Therefore the answer is "-2/3."

Hope this helps!
