Answer 1

24/35

Explanation:

Dividing by a fraction is the same as multiplying by the reciprocal of the fraction.

The reciprocal of -5/4 is -4/5

So: -6/7/(5/4)=-6/7x(-4/5)

=-6x(-4)/7x5

Answer 2

The answer is 7/12.
7/6 ÷ 2.
When you divide, you do the reciprocal of the second number (in this case the second number is 2). That means you flip it upside down, so 2 would become 1/2.
7/6 ÷ 1/2.
And then the division sign becomes a multiplication sign.
7/6 x 1/2.
And then you just multiply. You get 7/12.
