3 5/9 divided by -2 2/3
change the mixed numbers to improper fractions
3 5/9 = (9*3+5)/9 = 32/9
-2 2/3 = -(3*2+2)/3 = -8/3
32/9 divided by -8/3
copy dot flip
32/9 * -3/8

because 24^2 - all circle areas all over 2
This is a geometric sequence with first term 1 and common ratio -1/2. r=-1/2.
a(n) = a(1)*(r)^(n-1).
Check: If n=2 our formula must return -1/2. Does it?
a(2) = 1(-1/2)^(2-1) = (-1/2)^1 = - 1/2. Yes.
a(3) should be 1/4. Is it? a(3) = (-1/2)^(3-1) = 1/4 Yes.
Then a(8) = (-1/2)^(8-1) = (-1/2)^7 = -1 / 2^7 = -1/128 (answer)
