The correct answer is −913÷2.
To find a quotient between -4 and -5, we can use our calculator to simplify each quotient and compare the results.
Let's evaluate each option:
1) -512 ÷ (-112) = 4.5714 (rounded to four decimal places)
2) -913 ÷ 2 = -456.5
3) 256 ÷ (-12) = -21.3333 (rounded to four decimal places)
4) 123 ÷ (-12) = -10.25
Among these options, the quotient -10.25 is the only one that falls between -4 and -5.
