Answer:

-52

---------

75

Explanation:

My interpretation of your question is as follows:

Divide 2 3/5

by

-3 3/4

These mixed numbers are equivalent to 13/5 and -15/4.

We now divide 13/5 by -15/4. To accomplish this, invert the divisor, -15/4, and then multiply, as follows:

13 -4

------- * ---------

5 15

which results in:

-52

---------

75

This cannot be reduced.
