Answer 7

\[\Huge -\frac{(\frac{24}{55})}{(\frac{39}{40})}=-\frac{24}{55} \div \frac{39}{40}\]
\[\large -\frac{24}{55} \div \frac{39}{40}\]
Switch the divide to multiply, which makes one of the fraction switch
\[\large -\frac{24}{55} \times \frac{40}{39}\]
Then multiply them together, numerator with numerator, denominator with denominator
