The correct Answer is:
To evaluate the expression \( \frac{8}{-5} \div \frac{24}{25} \), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Rewrite the division as multiplication The expression can be rewritten using the property of division of fractions: \[ \frac{8}{-5} \div \frac{24}{25} = \frac{8}{-5} \times \frac{25}{24} \] ### Step 2: Multiply the fractions Now we can multiply the fractions: \[ \frac{8 \times 25}{-5 \times 24} = \frac{200}{-120} \] ### Step 3: Simplify the fraction Next, we simplify the fraction \( \frac{200}{-120} \). We can find the greatest common divisor (GCD) of 200 and 120, which is 40. Now we divide both the numerator and the denominator by 40: \[ \frac{200 \div 40}{-120 \div 40} = \frac{5}{-3} \] ### Step 4: Write the final answer Thus, the final answer can be expressed as: \[ -\frac{5}{3} \] ### Final Answer: \[ -\frac{5}{3} \] ---
