Answer 1

((-8 2/5)/(-4 1/10))*(-1/2)
(-(8*5+2)/5)/(-(4*10+1)/10)*(-1/2)
(-(42/5))/(-(41/10))*(-1/2)
((42/5)/(41/10))*(-1/2)
((42/5)*(10/41))*(-1/2)
((42*10)/(5*41))*(-1/2)
((420)/(205))*(-1/2)
(84/41)*(-1/2)
-((84*1)/(41*2))
-((84)/(82))
=-(42/41)
=-42/41
=-1 1/41

Convert all the improper fractions into mixed numbers, then simplify. Then, you do the operations.
