Using the rules for dividing signed numbers, what is the quotient when you divide 56÷(−4)÷(−2)?

Answer 1

To divide two signed numbers, we multiply the dividend by the reciprocal of the divisor.

First, we divide 56 by -4:
\[\frac{56}{-4}= -14\]

Next, we divide -14 by -2:
\[\frac{-14}{-2}=7\]

Therefore, the quotient when you divide 56 ÷ (-4) ÷ (-2) is 7.
