Answer:

2/15

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the expression:


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

First, change the division sign to times by taking the reciprocal of the number after the sign:


=-(2)/(5)*-(1)/(3)

Next, multiply the numerators and denominators:


\begin{gathered} =((-2)*(-1))/(5*3) \\ =(2)/(15) \end{gathered}

The fraction is already in its lowest form as required.
