Answer:

1

Explanation:

You can put either number in the form of the other to see they are equal. A number divided by itself gives a quotient of 1.

-1 1/10 = -(10·1 +1)/10 = -11/10 . . . . . matches the denominator

or

-11/10 = -1 1/10 . . . . . matches the numerator

__

(-11/10)/(-11/10) = 1 . . . . your quotient

_____

Additional comment

Here, we see that both numbers in the problem are negative, so we have an even number of minus signs. That means the quotient will be positive. Knowing this lets us eliminate the minus signs from the problem.

As you may know, there are a couple of (fully equivalent) ways to divide fractions.

1) "invert and multiply" or "dot swap"

(11/10) ÷ (11/10) = (11/10) · (10/11) . . . . . . . the denominator has been inverted

= (11·10)/(10·11) = 110/110 = 1

2) use the numerators when the denominators are equal.

(11/10) / (11/10) = 11/11 = 1 . . . . denominators of the fractions are both 10
