SOLUTION

write out the question


(-7/10+0.15)/-0.125

To simplify the question, change fraction to decimal and simplify

Hence


(7)/(10)=0.7

Then we have


(-0.7+0.15)(.)/(.)-0.125

According to PEMDAS rule, we evaluate the dividsion operation first


\begin{gathered} -0.55(.)/(.)-0.125 \\ \end{gathered}

Then, by division, we have


-0.55(.)/(.)-0.125=4.4

Therefore

Answer: 4.4 (Option C)
