Answer:

-7/4

Explanation:

Here, you can "invert and multiply" ...

`-(7)/(10)/(2)/(5)=-(7)/(10)*(5)/(2)=-(7*5)/((5*2)(2))=\boxed{-(7)/(4)}`

Alternatively, you can express each fraction using the same denominator, then find the quotient as the ratio of numerators.

`-(7)/(10)/(2)/(5)=-(7)/(10)/(4)/(10)=-7/4=\boxed{-(7)/(4)}`
