Answer 1

To find the quotient of \( 842.4 \div -0.6 \), you can perform the division as follows:

1. Divide the absolute values: \( 842.4 \div 0.6 \).

Calculating that:

\[ 842.4 \div 0.6 = 1404 \]

2. Since you're dividing by a negative number (\(-0.6\)), the quotient will also be negative.

Thus,

\[ 842.4 \div -0.6 = -1404 \]

So, the correct answer is:

\(-1,404\)
