The answer is D) 16/51.
To divide fractions, you need to multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction.
So, (-4/17) ÷ (-3/4) is the same as (-4/17) * (4/-3).
Multiplying the numerators: -4 * 4 = -16
Multiplying the denominators: 17 * 3 = 51
The result is -16/51, or when simplified, 16/(-51).
