Start by putting into improper fractions.
- 1 2/3 = - 5/3
- 2 1/5 = - 11/5

Now stack the fractions like this.

[tex] \frac{ \frac{-5}{3} }{ \frac{-11}{5} } [/tex]

Here's the key part (or one of them). Cancel the minus signs. Since there are 2 of them they become a plus.

[tex] \frac{ \frac{5}{3} }  { \frac{11}{5} } [/tex]

Now invert the 11/5. That means turn it upside down. Put the 5 in the numerator and 11 in the denominator. Multiply by it by the top fraction.

[tex] \frac{5}{3} * \frac{5}{11} [/tex]

When you do this, you just multiply top by top and bottom by bottom
