Answer 2

Answer:

-8/5

Explanation:

Correct on Khan Academy.

If we divide -8/5 we get: -1.6.

If we divide -5/8 we get: -0.625

-0.5 is already a decimal.

Here is those decimals listed from least to greatest:

-1.6, -0.625, -0.5

Since we are dealing with negatives, -1.6 is the least and -0.5 is the greatest, since it's closest to 0.

So your answer is -8/5 or -1.6.

Hope this helps! :D
