The mixed fraction is express as :

`a(b)/(c)=(a* c+b)/(c)`

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

First simplify : -3 3/4

`\begin{gathered} 3(3)/(4)\text{ is express as :} \\ 3(3)/(4)\text{ =}(3*4+3)/(4) \\ 3(3)/(4)=(12+3)/(4) \\ 3(3)/(4)=(15)/(4) \end{gathered}`
`\begin{gathered} 5\text{ divide -3}(3)/(4)=5\text{ }/((-15))/(4) \\ 5\text{ divide -3}(3)/(4)=5*(4)/((-15)) \\ 5\text{ divide -3}(3)/(4)=(1*4)/((-3)) \\ 5\text{ divide -3}(3)/(4)=-(4)/(3) \end{gathered}`

Answer : -4/3
