Answer:

2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

-5/12 divided by -5/8

To solve this you need to change the division sign to a multiplication sign.Then find the reciprocal of the second fraction. It should look like this.

-5/12*-8/5

Then you multiply straight across

5*8=40

5*12=60

40/60

This can be simplified to 2/3
