\[\frac{32.45}{-0.55} = -59\]


\[\begin{aligned}\frac{32.45}{-0.55}& = \left(32 + \frac{45}{100}\right) \cdot \frac{1}{- \frac{55}{100}}\\& = \left(32 + \frac{9}{20}\right) \cdot \frac{1}{- \frac{55}{100}}\\& = \frac{649}{20} \cdot \frac{1}{- \frac{55}{100}}\\& = \frac{649}{20} \cdot \frac{1}{- \frac{11}{20}}\\& = -59\end{aligned}\]
