Answer:4
(4.3)/(2)

Explanation:

1/4 * -8.6 = (1/4) * 8.6

Now, multiply the fractions:

(1/4) * 8.6 = 8.6/4

To simplify this fraction, you can divide both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 2:

(8.6/2) / (4/2) = 4.3/2

So, -1/4 * -8.6 in simplest form is
(4.3)/(2)
