Let's start with the first option.
Let's write the division exercise in the expression as a simple fraction:
Note that we can reduce the m in both the numerator and denominator of the fraction to get:
Since we are dividing a negative number by a positive number, we will get a negative result:
Let's continue with the second option.
Since in the previous exercise we saw that we can reduce the m in the numerator and denominator of the fraction, we'll do the same thing here and therefore reach the same result:
Therefore, the final answer is that for any m the expression will equal -3 and two thirds.
For each m the value of the expression will be .
