Just in case you are yet in need of understanding...
-61%2F2 should be converted to an improper fraction first
2*6=12+1=13 so -13%2F2
Now, the problem looks like
%28-13%2F2%29%2F-10 since multiplication is the opposite of division
%28-13%2F2%29%2F-10%29+=+%28-13%2F2%29%2A%281%2F-10%29
Multiplying or dividing two negatives yields a positive
13%2F20
