The answer would be -50.

Explanation:

A negative number divided by a positive number will always be negative, so any answer will be negative. 9 times 5 is 45 and if you multiply 45 by 10 you will get 450. And to get 45 to 450 the 5 will have be 50 giving you that answer. Which has to be negative to get -450.
