Answer 2

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

`\bf \stackrel{mixed}{4(1)/(2)}\implies \cfrac{4\cdot 2+1}{2}\implies \stackrel{improper}{\cfrac{9}{2}}~\hfill \stackrel{mixed}{2(2)/(3)}\implies \cfrac{2\cdot 3+2}{3}\implies \stackrel{improper}{\cfrac{8}{3}} \\\\[-0.35em] \rule{34em}{0.25pt}\\\\ \cfrac{-9}{2}/\cfrac{-8}{3}\implies \cfrac{-9}{2}\cdot \cfrac{3}{-8}\implies \cfrac{-27}{-16}\implies \cfrac{27}{16}\implies 1(11)/(16)`
