Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

let's firstly convert the mixed fractions to improper fractions and then divide.

$\bf \stackrel{mixed}{10\frac{2}{7}}\implies \cfrac{10\cdot 7+2}{7}\implies \stackrel{improper}{\cfrac{72}{7}}~\hfill \stackrel{mixed}{4\frac{4}{11}}\implies \cfrac{4\cdot 11+4}{11}\implies \stackrel{improper}{\cfrac{48}{11}} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill$

$\bf -\cfrac{72}{7}\div -\cfrac{48}{11}\implies \cfrac{-72}{7}\div \cfrac{-48}{11}\implies \cfrac{\stackrel{3}{~~\begin{matrix} -72 \\[-0.7em]\cline{1-1}\\[-5pt]\end{matrix}~~}}{7}\cdot \cfrac{11}{\underset{2}{~~\begin{matrix} -48 \\[-0.7em]\cline{1-1}\\[-5pt]\end{matrix}~~}}\implies \cfrac{33}{14}\implies 2\frac{5}{14}$
