When a fraction is divided by another fraction we need to follow a rule that says this:
If a fraction is divided by another fraction, that is equal to the multiplication of the first fraction with the second fraction reversed.
In our case instead of (-15/16) / (-½) we will have this L
(-15/16) x (-2)=
Multiply the numerator with the number and then divide the result with the denominator.
[(-15)x(-2)] / 16 =
=30/16
Divide both the nominator and denominator with 2.
30/16=15/8
