Answer 1

To solve the expression \( 56 \div (-4) \div (-2) \), we can follow the order of operations by performing the divisions from left to right.

1. First, calculate \( 56 \div (-4) \):
\[
56 \div (-4) = -14
\]

2. Next, take the result and divide it by \(-2\):
\[
-14 \div (-2) = 7
\]

So, the final quotient is \( 7 \).

The correct response is **7**.
