The given expression is : 5/6 divide (- 3/4)​


\begin{gathered} (5)/(6)\text{ divide (-}(3)/(4))=(5)/(6)\text{ }/\text{ (-}(3)/(4)) \\ \operatorname{Re}ciprocate\text{ the second fraction :} \\ (5)/(6)\text{ divide (-}(3)/(4))=(5)/(6)*(-(4)/(3)) \\ (5)/(6)\text{ divide (-}(3)/(4))=(5)/(3)*(-(2)/(3)) \\ (5)/(6)\text{ divide (-}(3)/(4))=(5*(-2))/(3*3) \\ (5)/(6)\text{ divide (-}(3)/(4))=(-10)/(9) \end{gathered}

5/6 divide (- 3/4)​ = -10/9
