To determine whether the quotients will be positive or negative, we can use the rule that states:
- A positive number divided by a negative number results in a negative quotient.
Now, let's analyze the given quotients:
1. **1,001 ÷ (−143)**:
- Here, 1,001 is positive and (−143) is negative.
- Thus, the quotient will be negative.
2. **657 ÷ (−23)**:
- In this case, 657 is positive and (−23) is negative.
- Therefore, this quotient will also be negative.
Based on this analysis, neither of the quotients can be determined to be positive; instead, both will be negative.
- A positive number divided by a negative number results in a negative quotient.
