- 11/24 divided by 7/10 


   11      7
- ———— ÷ ————
   24     10

Invert the second fraction and change the ÷ to ×

   11     10
- ———— × ————
   24      7

10 and 24 can both be divided by 2, so cancel
them and put what you get when you divide them by
2 next to them

           5
   11     10
- ———— × ————
   24      7
   12

The answer will be negative, since
a negative times a positive is a negative.
Multiply numerators and denominators, and
the final result is

   55    
- ———— 
   84
