\begin{gathered} -(3)/(8)/(-(3)/(2))^3 \\ -(3)/(8)/(-(27)/(8))\text{ (Raising -3/2 to the power of 3)} \\ -(3)/(8)\cdot(-(8)/(27))\text{ (Turning the second fraction upside down}) \\ (24)/(216)\text{ (Multiplying)} \\ (1)/(9)\text{ (Dividing the numerator and the denominator by 9)} \\ \text{The answer is 1/9} \end{gathered}
