Answer 1

To find the quotient when you divide 56 by -4 and then divide the result by -2, you can use the rule that states "When dividing signed numbers, divide the absolute values and use the rules for multiplying signed numbers to determine the sign of the quotient."

First, divide 56 by -4: 56 ÷ -4 = -14

Next, divide -14 by -2: -14 ÷ -2 = 7

Therefore, the quotient when you divide 56 ÷ (-4) ÷ (-2) is 7.
