Answer 1

The correct response is:

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

In general, the rules for determining the sign of the quotient are as follows:

• If both the divisor and dividend have the same sign (both positive or both negative), the quotient is positive.
• If the divisor and dividend have different signs (one positive and one negative), the quotient is negative.
