To divide fractions, we multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction.
The reciprocal of -2/5 is -5/2.
Therefore, dividing -10/11 by -2/5 is the same as multiplying -10/11 by -5/2:
(-10/11) * (-5/2)
We can simplify the expression by canceling out common factors:
(-10 * -5) / (11 * 2)
= 50/22
= 25/11
So, the quotient when you divide -10/11 by -2/5 is 25/11.
