Answer 1

To solve the expression \( 56 \div (-4) \div (-2) \), we can follow the order of operations by performing the divisions from left to right.

1. First, calculate \( 56 \div (-4) \): \[ 56 \div (-4) = -14 \]

2. Next, take the result and divide it by \(-2\): \[ -14 \div (-2) = 7 \]

So, the final quotient is \( 7 \).

The correct response is 7.
