−512÷(−112)
negative 5 and 1 half divided by open paren negative 1 and 1 half close paren

−913÷2
negative 9 and 1 third divided by 2

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.
