Answer:

It is a rational number

Explanations:

A rational number is any number that can be expressed as a fraction consisiting of integers both at the numerator and the denominator.

4 divided by -8 can be written mathematically as:

4 / -8

Dividing both the numerator and denominator by -4:


\begin{gathered} (4/-4)/(-8/-4) \\ (-1)/(2) \end{gathered}

Since 4/ -8 is reducible to -1 /2 which is a fraction of two integers, it is a rational number.
