Answer 1

To divide -2 3/5 by 4/5, we need to convert both fractions to their equivalent decimal or improper fraction forms.

-2 3/5 is equal to -13/5.
4/5 remains the same since it is already in decimal form.

Now, to divide -13/5 by 4/5, we can multiply the numerator of the dividend by the reciprocal of the divisor.

(-13/5) / (4/5) = (-13/5) * (5/4) = -65/20.

Simplifying this fraction by dividing the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 5, we get -13/4.

Therefore, the quotient is -13/4.

So, the correct answer is -2 3/4.
