Answer:

Fraction Form

25/33

Decimal Form

0.75

Explanation:

First, convert the mixed fraction into an improper fraction, so it would look like:

-5/3 / (-11/5)

Next, divide. Remember, when multiplying fractions all you do is flip the one in parantheses and make both of them positive, so it would look like:

5/3 x 5/11

Finally, multiply so you do the two top numbers which is 5 x 5= 25 and the two bottom numbers so 11 x 3 is 33. Then your final answer is 25/33
