-3/4 (divided by) 2/-8

Change division into multiplication and make the second form of numbers (the 2 over -8) into revised fractions so you can get rid of negatives.

3/4 x 8/2

Use cross multiply in 4 and 2 and answer

3/1 x 2/2
= 6/2 or 3/1 or 3

So the answer is, 3.

Look at the picture if you don’t understand :)
