1 answer

To divide -2 3/5 by 4/5, we need to convert the mixed numbers to improper fractions first.

-2 3/5 = -2 * 5/5 + 3/5 = -10/5 + 3/5 = -10/5 + 3/5 = -7/5

Now, we can divide -7/5 by 4/5:

-7/5 ÷ 4/5 = (-7/5) × (5/4) = -7/4

Therefore, the quotient is -7/4, which can also be written as -1 3/4. So, the correct answer is -1 3/4.
