Answer:

3

Explanation:

Start by applying the order of operations which in this case would be left to right. -9 is the same thing as -9/1. Multiply the -9 by a 1 and you would just get -9. Multiply the 1 by 4 and you would get 4, so now you have -9/4. You can remember decimals by seeing them in terms of 1. 0.25 is 1/4, 0.5 is 1/2, and so 0.75 is 0.25 tripled, which would be 1/4 tripled or 3/4. Now with dividing, you can just multiply -9/4 by the reciprocal, which would be to flip the other fraction, which would give us 4/-3, and 4x-9 is -36 and -3x4 is -12 which would give us -36/-12. Dividing to negatives gives us a positive, and 36/12 is the same as 3/1 which would give us 3. Hope this helps!
