The given expression is


-(1)/(4)(-(4)/(5)\colon(2)/(3))6

First, we solve the division. We just have to change the fraction 2/3 to its reciprocal, that way we would have a multiplication.


\begin{gathered} -(1)/(4)(-(4)/(5)\cdot(3)/(2))6 \\ -(1)/(4)(-(12)/(10))6 \end{gathered}

Then, we solve all the multiplications.


(-1\cdot(-12)\cdot6)/(4\cdot10)=(72)/(40)

At last, we simplify.


(72)/(40)=(36)/(20)=(18)/(10)=(9)/(5)

Therefore, the right answer is A.
