1.92

Step-by-step explanation

remember:


\begin{gathered} a(b)/(c)=((a\cdot c)+b)/(c) \\ \\ (a)/(b)\text{divided by }(c)/(d)=(ad)/(bc) \\ \end{gathered}

Step 1

convert the mixed number


-1(3)/(5)=-((1\cdot5)+3)/(5)=-(8)/(5)

Step 2

Now, we have


-(8)/(5)\text{divided by-}(5)/(6)

Step 3

finally, apply the formula to divide two fraction numbers


\begin{gathered} -(8)/(5)\text{divided by-}(5)/(6)=(-8\cdot6)/(5\cdot-5)=(-48)/(-25)=1.92 \\ \\ \end{gathered}

I hope this helps you
