If one divides an object by -.5, one will now have -2 objects.

It is utter nonsense in real world! Yet still, 1/-.5 = -2, indeed.

Why is that? Because in math we use division operation in somewhat different sense than "slicing apples to pieces with a knife". Although the operation resembles the apple slicing when numbers involved are positive.

Introduce yourself to algebra to understand and appreciate operations on sets.

Which number base you're willing to talk about, and how is "/" defined in it?
