Answer:

5(7/9)

Explanation:

-4(1/3) / -3/4

Make top fraction, improper fraction: 3*4+1 = -13/3

(-13/3) / (-3/4)

When doing division, we first change it into a multiplication sign, then take the reciprocal of the second fraction. The reciprocal means to flip the fraction or to make the numerator the denominator, and the denominator the numerator.

Thus (-3/4) becomes (-4/3)

(-13/3) * (-4/3)

Now solve

52/9

Make into a mixed fraction

5(7/9)
