Answer:

-3

Explanation:

9/4/(-3/4)

Flip the reciprocal:

9/4 x 4/3= (9x4=36) (4x3 =12)

So, 36/12 which needs to be fully reduced and 12/12 = 1 and 36/12 = 3

So, 3/1

now remember one of teh factors was negative and any positive times a negative always equals a negative.

So the answer is -3/1 or just -3
