Answer:

2 9/13

Explanation:

turn the mixed numbers into improper fractions.

-5 5/6 becomes -35/6

-2 1/6 becomes -13/6

to divide fractions, multiply using the reciprocal (flipped fraction) of the second fraction.

-35/6 ÷ -13/6 becomes -35/6 * -6/13

you can cross cancel the sixes to get 35/13.

turn 35/13 into a mixed number by seeing how many times 13 fits into 35. it fits two times and leaves nine left over. so it is 2 9/13

hopefully that works
