divide −72

Question

by −4
. Then divide the quotient by −9
. What is the final quotient? (1 point)

Answer 1

To find the final quotient, we can break it down into two steps.

1. Divide \(-72\) by \(-4\): \[ \frac{-72}{-4} = 18 \] (Negative divided by negative is positive.)

2. Now, take the quotient \(18\) and divide it by \(-9\): \[ \frac{18}{-9} = -2 \] (Positive divided by negative is negative.)

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