Question

Using the rules for dividing signed numbers, what is the quotient when you divide 56÷(−4)÷(−2)?(1 point)

Answer 1

To divide signed numbers, we need to follow the rule: the quotient of two numbers with different signs is negative, and the quotient of two numbers with the same sign is positive.

First, we divide 56 by -4:
56 ÷ (-4) = -14

Next, we divide -14 by -2:
-14 ÷ (-2) = 7

Therefore, the quotient is 7.
