Answer 1

To calculate the quotient of \(-\frac{1}{4} \div 4\), you can rewrite the division as multiplication by the reciprocal:

\[ -\frac{1}{4} \div 4 = -\frac{1}{4} \times \frac{1}{4} \]

Now, multiply the fractions:

\[ -\frac{1 \times 1}{4 \times 4} = -\frac{1}{16} \]

So the quotient \(-\frac{1}{4} \div 4\) is:

\(-\frac{1}{16}\)

The correct response is:

−1/16 (negative 1 over 16)
