Answer: -7/6

Step-by-step explanation: (-2/3) ÷ (4/7) can be rewritten as (-2/3) · (7/4).

Remember that dividing by a fraction is the same thing

as multiplying by the reciprocal of the fraction.

Before multiplying however, notice that we

can cross-cancel the 2 and 4 to 1 and 2.

So multiplying across the numerators and denominator and

remembering our negative in the first fraction, we have -7/6.
