Answer:


\huge\boxed{\sf - (7)/(68) }

Explanation:


\displaystyle (3)/(8) / (-(51)/(24) / (7)/(12) )\\\\While \ changing \ / \ into \ *, \ we \ will\ switch \ the \ denominator \ and \ numerator \ after \ / \ sign\\\\= (3)/(8) / ((-51)/(24) * (12)/(7) )\\\\= (3)/(8) / ((-51)/(2) * (1)/(7) )\\\\= (3)/(8) / (-51)/(2 * 7) \\\\= (3)/(8) / (-51)/(14) \\\\= (3)/(8) * (14)/(-51) \\\\= (1)/(4) * (7)/(-17) \\\\
\displaystyle = (1 * 7)/(4 * (-17)) \\\\= (7)/(-68) \\\\= - (7)/(68) \\\\\rule[225]{225}{2}

Hope this helped!
