Answer:

(b)

Explanation:

(-9/6) / (-3/2)

keep the first fraction, change division to multiplication, then flip the second fraction

-9/6 x 2/-3

multiply the numerators by each other and do the same with the denominators

-9x2 / 6x-3

-18 / -18

simplify

answer = 1 (negative divided by negative will always equal a positive)
