Answer 2

Answer: -4.5

Explanation:

-18/4 is the same as -9/2

we can get rid of the negative for now and just think about 9/2

then do 9 divided by 2.

2 divides into 9 four times, with remainder 1

2 divides into 1.0 0.5 times

you'll get 9/2 = 4 + 0.5 = 4.5

bring the negative back in, so..

-18/4 = -4.5
