Answer:

Explanation:

Dividing a negative by a negative will get you a positive result, so we can treat these fractions as positive numbers. To divide fractions, we take the reciprocal of the fraction we're dividing by and it'll be multiplied by the first fraction. To multiply fractions, we multiply numerator with numerator and denominator with denominator.

-3/4 ÷ -1/8 = 3/4 ÷ 1/8 = 3/4 * 8/1 = 24/4 = 6
