#16/15#

First, let's turn them into improper fractions

#76/9-:95/12#

When dividing fractions, we can simply multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction to get the same answer

#76/9*12/95#

When multiplying fractions we multiply straight across

#(76*12)/(9*95)#

#912/855#

Simplify

#16/15#
