Let's rewrite this question a bit.


2(3)/(5)=(13)/(5) \\

So, if we want to divide
(3)/(5) by
-3, we can write it like this,


(3)/(5) / -3=(3)/(5) * -(1)/(3)= -(1)/(5)

Now, we are also asked to divide
(3)/(5) by
(3)/(4).


(3)/(5) / (3)/(4)=(3)/(5) * (4)/(3)= -(4)/(5)

Hope this helps! :)

A small thing I would like to mention -> In case this wasn't clear or you didn't know, when dividing fractions, we take the reciprocal of the 2nd fraction and then multiply into the first.

So a general formula would look like this:

Let
a,b be fractions, then if we want to divide we do,


a / b = a * (1)/(b)
