Answer:

-25

Explanation:

-98.6 is a negative number with an absolute value that is less than 100. 3.8 is a positive number.

Using this information, we know that the solution must be a negative number (negative number/positive number = negative number), and it must have an absolute value that is less than 100. The only choice that applies to both of these is -25, so that is the most reasonable estimate.
