1) to divide that mixed number we'll need to turn it into an improper fraction:


- 2(1)/(6) = - ( (6 * 2 + 1)/(6) ) = - (13)/(6) \\ 1 (1)/(4) = (4 * 1 + 1)/(4) = (5)/(4)

2) now let's divide it, reciprocating 1 1/4 and multiplying both fractions one by another:


- (13)/(6) * (4)/(5) = - (52)/(30) = - (26)/(15)

3) Hence the answer is -26/15
