Divide −72%0D%0A−%0D%0A72%0D%0A by −4%0D%0A−%0D%0A4%0D%0A. Then divide the quotient by −9%0D%0A−%0D%0A9%0D%0A. What is the final quotient? (1 point)

1 answer

To solve the problem, we need to divide \(-72\) by \(-4\) first, and then take that quotient and divide it by \(-9\).

  1. First Division: \[ -72 \div -4 = 18 \] (Dividing two negative numbers results in a positive number.)

  2. Second Division: \[ 18 \div -9 = -2 \] (Dividing a positive number by a negative number results in a negative number.)

So, the final quotient is \(-2\).
