Answer:

1. -6

2. 7.5

Explanation:

To divide a number by a fraction, there is a simple method to do.

Instead of dividing, you multiply by the fraction with the numerator and denominator switched.

For example: 1/3 becomes -3/1 or -3

So, for -2÷1/3:

-2 * 3 = -6

And for 6÷4/5:

6 * 5/4 = 7.5

Hope this helps!
