Answer 1

To find which quotient is between -4 and -5, we will calculate each of the provided options.

**A. \( 123 \div (-12) \)**
Calculating:
\( 123 \div (-12) = -10.25 \)

**B. \( -512 \div (-112) \)**
Calculating:
\( -512 \div (-112) = 4.5714 \) (approximately)

**C. \( 256 \div (-12) \)**
Calculating:
\( 256 \div (-12) = -21.3333 \) (approximately)

**D. \( -913 \div 2 \)**
Calculating:
\( -913 \div 2 = -456.5 \)

Now, we check which of these quotients fall between -4 and -5. The possible results are:

- A: -10.25 (Not between -4 and -5)
- B: 4.5714 (Not negative)
- C: -21.3333 (Not between -4 and -5)
- D: -456.5 (Not between -4 and -5)

None of the options fall between -4 and -5. Therefore, please double-check the options provided or the context of the question.
