Question

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

Answer 1

To divide signed numbers, we can use the rule that states "Dividing two numbers with the same sign will result in a positive quotient, while dividing two numbers with different signs will result in a negative quotient."

First, let's perform the division 56 ÷ (-4):
56 ÷ (-4) = -14

Next, let's divide -14 by -2:
-14 ÷ (-2) = 7

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