Answer 1

To solve the expression \( 56 \div (-4) \div (-2) \), we can break it down step by step.

1. First, divide \( 56 \) by \( -4 \): \[ 56 \div (-4) = -14 \]

2. Next, take the result and divide by \( -2 \): \[ -14 \div (-2) = 7 \]

Since dividing two negative numbers results in a positive number, the final result is \( 7 \).

So the answer is: 7
