1 answer

To solve \(-714\) divided by \(-600\):

\[ \frac{-714}{-600} = \frac{714}{600} \]

Since both numbers are negative, the result will be positive. Now, we can simplify the fraction:

First, divide both the numerator and the denominator by 6:

\[ \frac{714 \div 6}{600 \div 6} = \frac{119}{100} \]

Now, convert it to decimal form:

\[ \frac{119}{100} = 1.19 \]

Therefore, \(-714\) divided by \(-600\) equals \(1.19\).

The correct answer is:

B. 1.19
