Answer:

B

Explanation:

When dividing with fractions, the divisor (the number you're dividing by) is going to get flipped, meaning that 9 over 6 now becomes 6 over 9. Now that you've flipped your fraction, your operation flips with it. So instead of the problem being -3 over 2 divided by 9 over 6, it becoms -3 over 2 times 6 over 9. When multiplying fractions you multiply straight across, so -3 x 6 = -18, and 2 x 9 = 18, your fraction becomes -18 over 18, and when you simplify that fraction, it is -1, making your answer B
