When you are dividing fractions, multiply the fraction by the reciprocal of the number by which you are dividing (in this case, the number would be 12.) The reciprocal is, for something other than a fraction, 1/(the number). For a fraction, if the fraction is x/y, the reciprocal is y/x.
For this problem, the problem becomes -2/3 x 1/12.
-2 x 1= -2, and 3 x 12 = 36. Your answer is -2/36, which simplifies to -1/18.
Try doing the next one on your own :)

(-2/3)/12 is the same as -2/3*1/12 which = -2/36 change that to -1/18
(-3/4)/12 is the same as -3/4*1/12 which = -3/48 change that to -1/16

To divide by 12, you multiply by 1 over 12
So you get
-2/3 x 1/12
Mulitply numerators & denominators & get
-2/36
Simplifying you get -1/18
Also,
-3/4 divided by 12 = -3/4 x 1/12 = -3/48 = -1/16
