Question: Perform the operation and reduce the answer fully. Make sure to express your answer as a simplified fraction.
-5/2 ÷ -3
1. **State the problem:** We need to perform the division $$\frac{-5}{2} \div -3$$ and simplify the result.
2. **Recall the rule for dividing fractions:** Dividing by a number is the same as multiplying by its reciprocal. So,
$$\frac{-5}{2} \div -3 = \frac{-5}{2} \times \frac{1}{-3}$$
3. **Multiply the numerators and denominators:**
$$\frac{-5 \times 1}{2 \times -3} = \frac{-5}{-6}$$
4. **Simplify the fraction:** Both numerator and denominator are negative, so the fraction is positive.
$$\frac{-5}{-6} = \frac{5}{6}$$
5. **Final answer:** The simplified result of $$\frac{-5}{2} \div -3$$ is $$\frac{5}{6}$$.
