Question

Connect the model −5−(−1)−(−1)−(−1)−(−1)−(−1)=0 to the algorithm for solving the division problem it models.(1 point) Responses The model represents −5÷1, which is solved by dividing 5 by 1 and changing the sign to get −5. The model represents negative 5 divided by 1 , which is solved by dividing 5 by 1 and changing the sign to get negative 5 . The model represents−5÷(−1), which is solved by dividing 5 by 1 and changing the sign to get −5. The model represents negative 5 divided by left parenthesis negative 1 right parenthesis , which is solved by dividing 5 by 1 and changing the sign to get negative 5 . The model represents −5÷1, which is solved by dividing 5 by 1 to get 5. The model represents negative 5 divided by 1 , which is solved by dividing 5 by 1 to get 5. The model represents −5÷(−1), which is solved by dividing 5 by 1 to get 5.

Answer 1

The most accurate response to connect the model \(-5 - (-1) - (-1) - (-1) - (-1) - (-1) = 0\) to the algorithm for solving the division problem it models is:

The model represents \(-5 \div (-1)\), which is solved by dividing \(5\) by \(1\) and changing the sign to get \(-5\).

However, please note that based on the structure of the expression, it actually represents adding five instances of \(-1\) to \(-5\), equating to zero, which shows that \(-5\) is equivalent to adding five negative ones. But the connection to division in direct mathematical interpretation seems to align more with the interpretation given that the operation of subtracting negative values translates conceptually to division by negative numbers.
