To divide -3/17 by -2/3, we multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction:
(-3/17) ÷ (-2/3) = (-3/17) * (3/-2)
To simplify the result, we cancel out common factors:
= (-3/17) * (3/-2)
= (-3 * 3) / (17 * -2)
= -9 / -34
Finally, since both the numerator and denominator have a negative sign, they cancel each other out:
= 9/34
So, -3/17 divided by -2/3 is equal to 9/34.
