B.−512÷(−112)

C.256÷(−12)

D.−913÷2

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.
