Answer:


(-99)/(20)

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to find;


2(1)/(5)\text{ divided by }(4)/(-9)

Firstly, you change the mixed fraction to improper fraction and multiply with the reciprocal of the divisor;


(11)/(5)*(-9)/(4)=(-99)/(20)

we can now convert back to mixed fraction;


-(99)/(20)=-4(19)/(20)
