Answer 1

To find the quotient of $-7÷(-3)$, we can follow these steps:

1. Divide the absolute values: $7÷3=\frac{7}{3}$.
2. Since both the dividend (-7) and the divisor (-3) are negative, the quotient will be positive.

Thus, the result is:

$$\frac{7}{3}$$

In mixed number form, $\frac{7}{3}$ can also be expressed as $2\frac{1}{3}$.

Since the only correct response available in your options is $2\frac{1}{3}$, that would be the final answer.

Answer: $2\frac{1}{3}$
