The expression -16(4/5)/(4/5), ther is only multiplication and divisions, so we can do them in any order.

So, we can rewrite it as:


-16\cdot((4)/(5))/((4)/(5))

The division of fractions can be turned into a multiplication of fractions:


-16\cdot(4)/(5)\cdot(5)/(4)=-16\cdot(4\cdot5)/(5\cdot4)=-16\cdot1=-16

So, this expression is the same as -16. There is no decimals and there is no need for fractions, because the denominator is 1 so -16 is already in a decimal and fractionform.

The answer is -16
