Answer

To divide one rational number by another, multiply the dividend by the reciprocal of the divisor.

Dividing,

−1635÷1514=−1635×1415=(−16)×1435×15=−224525=−3275\dfrac{-16}{35} \div \dfrac{15}{14} = \dfrac{-16}{35} \times \dfrac{14}{15} \\[1em] = \dfrac{(-16) \times 14}{35 \times 15} \\[1em] = \dfrac{-224}{525} \\[1em] = \dfrac{-32}{75}

Hence, −1635÷1514=−3275\mathbf{\dfrac{-16}{35} \div \dfrac{15}{14} = \dfrac{-32}{75}}.
