When finding the quotient of two fractions, the first thing you should do is to find the inverse fraction of the second fraction, and then switch the division sign to a multiplication sign.
Ex: 4/5 divided by 1/6 becomes 4/5 x 6/1
Then you find the least common denominator, which in this case, is 5. Multiply the 6/1 (as that is the only fraction needed to find the common denominator; the other fraction already has one) by 5/5 to get 5.
Ex: 4/5 x (6/1 x 5/5)
Now multiply the numerators and denominators of 6/1 and 5/5 with each other.
Ex: 4/5 x 30/5
Now multiply the numerators of these fractions by each other.
Ex: 4 x 30
 5
Now: 120
5
If you need to simplify and get a mixed fraction, then do so. But this is just dividing the two fractions to get the "base number".

I hope this helps, please Brainliest me, and have a great day! :D

Keep the first one
Flick the second one and
Change the division to multiplication

Answer:

a) $\frac{32}{21}$

b) -14

c) -3

d) -96

Step-by-step explanation:

a) The parenthesis indicate multiplication.

b) Minus and plus gives subtraction, and the sign you put behind the number is the sign of the largest number you have (in this case it's 21 since we ignore the -)

c) They already have common denominators, all that's left is to do $\frac{-7 -2}{3} = \frac{-9}{3} = -3$
