ANSWER:

- 10

Explanation:

We have the following expression


4/\mleft(-(2)/(5)\mright)

We know that when dividing from, the nvert-and-multiply rule must be applied, as follows


\begin{gathered} 4/\mleft(-(2)/(5)\mright)\rightarrow4*\mleft(-(5)/(2)\mright)=(4\cdot-5)/(2)=(-20)/(2)=-10 \\ \end{gathered}

Therefore the result of the operation is -10
