Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To divide two fractions, you multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second. Here, $\left( - \frac { 5 } { 6 } \right) \div \left( - \frac { 15 } { 14 } \right) = \left( - \frac { 5 } { 6 } \right) \times \left( - \frac { 14 } { 15 } \right) = \frac { 5 \times 14 } { 6 \times 15 } = \frac { 70 } { 90 } = \frac { 7 } { 9 }$, after simplification.
