To divide -2 3/5 by 4/5, we need to convert the mixed number to a fraction.

-2 3/5 can be written as a fraction by multiplying the whole number (-2) by the denominator of the fraction (5) and adding the numerator (3). The result is (-2 * 5) + 3 = -10 + 3 = -7.

So, -2 3/5 can be written as a fraction: -7/5.

Now, we can divide -7/5 by 4/5 by multiplying the numerator (-7) by the reciprocal of the denominator (4/5).

(-7/5) ÷ (4/5) = -7/5 * (5/4)

When multiplying fractions, we multiply the numerators and the denominators:

(-7 * 5) / (5 * 4) = -35/20

Now, we can simplify this fraction by dividing both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 5.

-35/20 simplifies to -7/4.

Therefore, -2 3/5 divided by 4/5 is equal to -7/4.

Apologies for the confusion. Let's compute the division correctly.

When you divide -235 by 45, using long division, we start by dividing the absolute values:

```
-5
_________
45 | -235
-225
________
-10
```

The result is -5, and there is no remainder. Therefore, the correct quotient when you divide -235 by 45 is -5.

Apologies for the previous incorrect responses.
