Answer 2

Answer:
`(-5)/(12)`

Explanation:

The given problem :
`-2(1)/(2)/6`

First we convert mixed fraction into improper fraction, we gte

`-2(1)/(2)=-((2(2)+1)/(2))=-(5)/(2)`

Now , the problem becomes ,

`-(5)/(2)/6`

Also, dividing a fraction with a number is exactly same as to multiply it by the reciprocal of that number .

∴ The above expression will become.

`-(5)/(2)\timers(1)/(6)`

`=-(5)/(2)\timers(1)/(6)=(-5)/(12)`

Hence, the answer is
`(-5)/(12)`
