Question

Carson said that when you divide two negative decimals the answer will be greater than 0. Use these numbers to answer the questions: –7.2, –2.4, –1.6, –0.8

Is Carson’s statement always true, sometimes true, or always false? Write two equations to support your answer.

Answer 1

That is true because negative divided by negative is always positive which will always be greater than 0. So you can write any two division problems and they will both be greater than 0.
