Answer:


( - 5)/(4)

Explanation:


(5)/(6) / ( - 2)/(3)

When dividing two fractions, we turn the second fraction upside-down and multiply two expressions instead.


(5)/(6) * ( - 3)/(2) = ( - 15)/(12)

Now simplify the fraction by dividing it with biggest common divisor which is 3 in this case.


( - 5)/(4)

is the final result.
