To calculate the quotient of two fractions, you need to multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction (or divide them directly).
In this case, the reciprocal of -2/3 is -3/2.
So, the quotient can be found by multiplying -5/8 by -3/2:
(-5/8) * (-3/2)
Multiplying the numerators and denominators:
= (5*3) / (8*2)
= 15/16
Therefore, the quotient of -5/8 ÷ -2/3 is 15/16.
