Answer

$-1\frac{7}{8}$

Work Step by Step

The error is that the reciprocal of the dividend instead of the reciprocal of the divisor was used. $-\frac{3}{4}\div\frac{2}{5}\longrightarrow$ multiply by the reciprocal of the divisor =$-\frac{3}{4}\times\frac{5}{2}\longrightarrow$ multiply =-$\frac{15}{8}\longrightarrow$ reduce =-$1\frac{7}{8}$
