Answer:

  -3/2

Step-by-step explanation:

(1/2)/(2/-5) +(-1/4) = (1/2)·(-5/2) -(1/4) . . . . invert the denominator and multiply

  = -5/4 -1/4 = -6/4 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .add the two terms

  = -3/2 . . . . . reduce the fraction

_____

<em>Comment on fraction division</em>

There are two ways to divide fractions. In the end, they amount to the same thing.

<u>One</u>: multiply by the inverse of the denominator:

  (a/b) / (c/d) = (a/b)·(d/c) = (ad)/(bc)

<u>Two</u>: adjust the denominators to be the same, then use the ratio of numerators:

  (a/b) / (c/b) = a/c

__

Here, we could rewrite the fractions as ...

  (5/10) / (-4/10) = -5/4 . . . . using method two
