Answer:1 -3/-6

Explanation:

simplify 1 2/3 to 5/3 making it:

5/3 + 3/4 divided by -1/3 - 1/2

then make the denominator the same for all fractions:

5/3+3/4=9+6/12= 15/12

do the same for the next fraction making it -5/5

15/12 divided by -5/6= 90/-60 (by using keep, change, flip)

into a mixed number-> 1 -3/-6
