Use the properties of operations and rules for dividing signed numbers to divide positive and negative integers

What is the quotient of 100÷(-10)÷5?

Answer: -2

1 answer

To solve the expression \(100 \div (-10) \div 5\), we can follow the order of operations by performing the division step-by-step.

  1. First, divide \(100\) by \(-10\): \[ 100 \div (-10) = -10 \]

  2. Next, take the result \(-10\) and divide it by \(5\): \[ -10 \div 5 = -2 \]

Therefore, the final answer is: \[ \text{Quotient of } 100 \div (-10) \div 5 = -2 \]
