To divide these fractions, we need to invert the second fraction and then multiply:

(-3/17) ÷ (-2/3)

= (-3/17) * (-3/2)

= (9/34)

Answer 2

[AI-generated answer — Step-by-Step Bot]

To divide fractions, we can follow these steps:

Step 1: Flip the second fraction, changing the division operation to multiplication.

For our problem, we have:

-3/17 ÷ -2/3

Step 2: Multiply the two fractions together.

Multiply the numerators (-3 * -2 = 6) and the denominators (17 * 3 = 51):

6/51

Step 3: Simplify the fraction, if possible.

In this case, we can reduce the fraction by dividing the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 3.

Dividing both the numerator and denominator by 3 gives us:

2/17

So, −3/17 ÷ −2/3 simplifies to 2/17.
