Greater than 1
Neither


(-10) divided by 6
-(5 divided by 2)
-3 divided by (-4)
-2• [- 7/2]
8/3•[-3:5]

Answer 1

Explanation:

(-10) ÷ 6 =
`(-10)/(6)=(-5)/(3)=-1(2)/(3)` less than -1

-(5÷2) =
`-(5)/(2)=-2(1)/(2)` less than (-1)

(-3÷ (-4) =
`(-3)/(-4)=(3)/(4)` Neither

(-2)* [-7/2] =
`(-2)* (-7)/(2)=(-1)*(-7)=7` Neither

(8/3)*(-3/5)=
`(8)/(3)*(-3)/(5)=(-8)/(5)=-1(3)/(5)` less than (-1)
