Question

How is the sign of the quotient determined?(1 point) Responses The sign of the quotient is the same as the larger number. The sign of the quotient is the same as the larger number. The quotient is positive if signs of the divisor and dividend are the same. The quotient is positive if signs of the divisor and dividend are the same. The sign of the quotient is the same as the smaller number. The sign of the quotient is the same as the smaller number. The quotient is negative if signs of the divisor and dividend are the same.

Answer 1

The correct response is: The quotient is positive if the signs of the divisor and dividend are the same.

In simpler terms, if both the dividend (the number being divided) and the divisor (the number you are dividing by) are either both positive or both negative, then the quotient (result of the division) will be positive. Conversely, if one is positive and the other is negative, then the quotient will be negative.
