Answer 1

To determine which of the given quotients will be positive, we can look at the signs of the numbers in each quotient.

1. −111 ÷ 37: The numerator is negative and the denominator is positive. A negative number divided by a positive number results in a negative quotient. (Negative)

2. −725 ÷ (−29): Both the numerator and the denominator are negative. A negative number divided by a negative number results in a positive quotient. (Positive)

3. 657 ÷ (−23): The numerator is positive and the denominator is negative. A positive number divided by a negative number results in a negative quotient. (Negative)

4. 1,001 ÷ (−143): The numerator is positive and the denominator is negative. A positive number divided by a negative number results in a negative quotient. (Negative)

From the analysis above, the only quotient that will be positive is the second one: −725 ÷ (−29).

Answer 3

To determine which of the given fractions does not have the same value as the others, let's evaluate each one:

1. \( \frac{3}{-7} \): This is equal to \(-\frac{3}{7}\) (a negative value).

2. \( \frac{-3}{-7} \): The negative signs in the numerator and denominator cancel out, resulting in \( \frac{3}{7} \) (a positive value).

3. \( \frac{-3}{7} \): This is simply \(-\frac{3}{7}\) (a negative value).

4. \( -\frac{3}{7} \): This is also \(-\frac{3}{7}\) (a negative value).

Now, we can summarize the values:

• \( \frac{3}{-7} = -\frac{3}{7} \) (negative)
• \( \frac{-3}{-7} = \frac{3}{7} \) (positive)
• \( \frac{-3}{7} = -\frac{3}{7} \) (negative)
• \( -\frac{3}{7} = -\frac{3}{7} \) (negative)

The fraction that does not have the same value as the others is \( \frac{-3}{-7} \), as it evaluates to a positive value (\( \frac{3}{7} \)), while the others are negative.
