Alright, so we have:

 

$$-\frac{3}{4} \div 3$$

 

When we have a negative infront of a fraction, we can carry that to the numerator (top number) It will remain the same.

 

$$\frac{-3}{4} \div 3$$

 

Which is the same as:

 

$$\frac{-3}{4} \div \frac{3}{1}$$

 

Now we SKIP, CHANGE, FLIP. When dividing two fractions, youSKIP the first fraction, CHANGE the division sign to a multiplication sign, and FLIP the second fraction.

 

$$\frac{-3}{4} \times \frac{1}{3}$$

 

We can now multiply the top and bottoms together.

 

$$\frac{-3 \times 1}{4 \times 3}$$

 

$$\frac{-3}{12}$$

 

Reduce the fraction

 

$$\frac{-3\div3}{12\div3}$$

 

$$\frac{-1}{4}$$

 

or

 

$$-\frac{1}{4}$$
