Answer 1

To determine if a quotient will be positive, we need to identify cases where the numerator and denominator have the same sign (both positive or both negative).

Based on this, we can determine that the quotient -725 ÷ (-29) will be positive because both the numerator (-725) and the denominator (-29) are negative.
