Answer:

-4/9

Explanation:

We first calculate the first bracket.

[2/3-(-4/9)]

= (2/3+4/9) (we cancel out the negatives)

= (6/9+4/9) (common denominator)

= 10/9

Then we convert -2 1/2 into an improper fraction.

-2 1/2

= -5/2

Finally we calculate the division by swapping the numerator and denominator of -5/2.

10/9 / -5/2

= 10/9 * -2/5

= -20/45

= -4/9 (simplify the terms)
