-- Ignore the signs.
-- Divide the first fraction by the second fraction, then decide whether
the answer is positive or negative.
-- If both numbers in a division have the same sign, then the quotient
is positive. So the quotient is positive, and you're done.

You multiply the negative number by the reciprocal of the fraction.
If you divide a positive number (it doesn't really matter if it is an integer or a fraction) by a negative number, the result is negative.
Divide as you would divide positive fractions. That is, convert both fractions to positive, then do the division. After that, apply the rules for dividing positive and negative numbers. For example, if one of the fractions is positive and the other negative, the answer will be negative.
It is the same as dividing two positive mixed fractions except that at the end of it all, you put a negative sign in front.
Any non-zero number that you like - positive or negative, integer or fraction.
