To divide two fractions, we multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction.
So, the quotient of - 5/8 divided by - 2/3 is:
(- 5/8) * (3/-2)
Simplifying this expression, we get:
(5/8) * (3/2)
Multiplying the numerators and denominators, we have:
(5 * 3) / (8 * 2)
The numerator is 15 and the denominator is 16.
Therefore, the quotient is 15/16.
