+ $\frac{6}{20} = \frac{3}{10}$ $6/20=3/10$

Explanation:

it is $\frac{- \frac{1}{4}}{- \frac{5}{6}}$ $(-1/4)/(-5/6)$ firstly lets get rid of $-$ $-$ signs,
it becomes $\frac{\frac{1}{4}}{\frac{5}{6}}$ $(1/4)/(5/6)$ , now we can convert division to multiplication by reversing denominator:

it becomes $\frac{1}{4} \cdot \frac{6}{5} = \frac{6}{20}$ $1/4 * 6/5 = 6/20$

which reduces to $\frac{3}{10}$ $3/10$

$a = - \frac{1}{4}; b = - \frac{5}{6}$ $a=-1/4; b=-5/6$

$\frac{a}{b} = \frac{- \frac{1}{4}}{- \frac{5}{6}}$ $a/b = (-1/4)/(-5/6)$

$= \frac{\frac{1}{4}}{\frac{5}{6}}$ $=(1/4)/(5/6)$

$= (\frac{1}{4}) (\frac{6}{5})$ $=(1/4)(6/5)$

$= \frac{3}{10}$ $=3/10$
