Answer:To divide -5 by 1,000, we can use a calculator or perform long division.

Using a calculator, we get -0.005 as the result.

To perform long division, we can follow these steps:

1. Write -5 as the dividend and 1,000 as the divisor.

2. Place the divisor outside the long division bracket and the dividend inside the bracket.

3. Divide the first digit of the dividend by the divisor. In this case, 1,000 does not go into -5, so we write 0 as the first digit of the quotient.

4. Bring down the next digit of the dividend (which is 0) and place it next to the 0 in the quotient.

5. Divide 1,000 into 0, which gives 0 as the next digit of the quotient.

6. Continue bringing down digits from the dividend and dividing until you have enough decimal places in the quotient. In this case, we can stop after two decimal places because we know the answer is not 200.

7. The final result is -0.005.

Therefore, -5 divided by 1,000 is equal to -0.005.
