Answer 1

9/20

Explanation:

1. 3/8 / 5/6

2. 9/20

Answer 2

`\sf \: (9)/(20)`

Explanation:

Given problem,

`\sf \rightarrow \: ( - 3 )/( \: 8) / ( - 5)/( \: 6)`

Let's solve the problem,

`\sf \rightarrow \: ( - 3)/( \: 8) / ( - 5)/( \: 6)`

`\sf \rightarrow \: ( - 3)/( \: 8) * ( - 6)/( \: 5)`

`\sf \rightarrow \: (( - 3 * - 6))/((8 * 5))`

`\sf \rightarrow \: (18)/(40) = (9)/(20)`

Hence, the answer is 9/20.
