Answer

Answer = (24/5) = 4 4/5

Step-by-step explanation

We are asked to solve

-3 1/5 ÷ (-2/3)

We need to put the mixed fraction in improper fraction form for this

3 1/5 = (16/5)

-3 1/5 ÷ (-2/3)

= (-16/5) ÷ (-2/3)

In solving division of fractions, we convert this into a multiplication sign and change the fraction after the division sign into its inverse.


\begin{gathered} -3(1)/(5)/-(2)/(3) \\ =-(16)/(5)/-(2)/(3) \\ =-(16)/(5)*-(3)/(2) \\ =(24)/(5) \\ =4(4)/(5) \end{gathered}

Hope this Helps!!!
