In this question we have to divide a fraction by a fraction, which is

[tex] \frac{\frac{-1}{2}}{\frac{-41}{15}} [/tex]

To divide fractions, we need to flip the second fraction and change the division sign to multiplication. That is

[tex] \frac{-1}{2} * \frac{-15}{41} [/tex]

And on multiplying them we will get the given result, which is

[tex] \frac{-15}{82} [/tex]

So the first step is to flip the second fraction and change the division sign to multiplication.
