Answer 2

When a negative number is divided by a positive number, the result is always a negative number. So, the answer to -100/40 will be a negative number.

Dividing both the numerator and denominator of the given number by 10 to simplify the process further, -100/40 = -(100/10)/(40/10) = -10/4.

The fraction -10/4 can be further simplified by once again dividing the numerator and denominator by 2.

In other words, -10/4 = -(10/2)/(4/2) = -5/2.

This is now really simple and the answer to -5/2 is 2.5.

Thus, -100/40 = -2.5
