Step-by-step solution

Step 1, Given the information  

The given number is$1.84÷\left(-0.8\right)$

Step 2. Perform division operation  

If $a,b,c,d$are the number then $\frac{a}{b}÷\frac{c}{d}=\frac{a}{b}\times \frac{d}{c}$

$$\begin{gathered} 1.84÷\left(-0.8\right) \\ =-\frac{184}{100}÷\frac{8}{10} \\ =-\frac{184}{100}\times \frac{10}{8} \\ =-\frac{184}{80} \end{gathered}$$

On reducing the fraction to simple fraction

$$\begin{gathered} =-\frac{23}{10} \\ =-2.3 \end{gathered}$$

Step 3. Conclusion 

Hence, the simplified value is$-2.3$
