To divide -40 by -4, we have:
-40 ÷ -4 = 10
Now, to divide the quotient (10) by -5, we have:
10 ÷ -5 = -2
Therefore, the final quotient is -2.
To solve this problem, we need to follow the order of operations, which is also known as PEMDAS (Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and Division, and Addition and Subtraction).
First, let's divide -40 by -4:
-40 ÷ -4 = 10
Next, let's divide the quotient, which is 10, by -5:
10 ÷ -5 = -2
The final quotient is -2.
