256÷(−12)
2 and 5 sixths divided by open paren negative 1 half close paren

123÷(−12)

Answer 1

To find which quotient is between -4 and -5, we need to calculate each option and determine its value.

1. \(-512 \div (-112)\): \[ -512 \div -112 = 4.5714 \text{ (This quotient is positive, not between -4 and -5)} \]

2. \(-913 \div 2\): \[ -913 \div 2 = -456.5 \text{ (This quotient is far less than -5)} \]

3. \(256 \div (-12)\): \[ 256 \div -12 = -21.3333 \text{ (This quotient is also far less than -5)} \]

4. \(123 \div (-12)\): \[ 123 \div -12 = -10.25 \text{ (Again, this is less than -5)} \]

None of the given options yield a quotient that falls between -4 and -5 based on the calculations. It seems there may be an error in the problem or in the choices available if we adhere strictly to the conditions of the question.
