Answer 2

Answer: The correct answer is -4.25

Step-by-step explanation:

When a negative number is divided by a positive number the answer will always be a negative number.

Just like multiplication the the order of the positive and negative number does not affect the quotient of the division.

For example:-

$\frac{-30}{5} =-6\\\\If \,we\,divide\,30\,by\,-5\,the\,answer \,is\,still\,\,-6\\\\\frac{30}{-5} =-6$

Here are some rules to remember when we divide negative and positive numbers-

$i) \frac{+}{-} =-\\\\ii)\frac{-}{+}=-\\ \\iii)\frac{+}{+} =+\\\\iv)\frac{-}{-} =-$

So for the above question-

$\frac{-85}{20} =\frac{-17}{4} =-4.25$

The answer is -4.25
