1 answer

To divide \(-\frac{3}{4}\) by \(\frac{3}{8}\), you can multiply by the reciprocal of the divisor.

So, this means:

\[ -\frac{3}{4} \div \frac{3}{8} = -\frac{3}{4} \times \frac{8}{3} \]

Now, multiply the fractions:

\[ -\frac{3 \times 8}{4 \times 3} = -\frac{24}{12} \]

Now, simplify \(-\frac{24}{12}\):

\[ -\frac{24}{12} = -2 \]

Thus, the quotient when you divide \(-\frac{3}{4}\) by \(\frac{3}{8}\) is \(-2\).

Therefore, the answer is:

\(-2\)
