Answer 2

Answer: -5/8

a standard form can also be referred as the simplest form

now the simplest form of a number means that the number cannot be further divided, in this case

-25/40

now both the numerator and the denominator can be divided by 5, so that means this is not in standard form, so now let's divide it by 5

25 ÷ (-5) = (-5)  and  40 ÷ 5 = 8, so we get

-5/8. now there are no numbers which divide both 8 and 5 since 5 is a prime number, so the standard form of -25/40 is

-5/8

I would really appreciate it if you could kindly mark this answer as the brainliest  ^-^
