Question

A. −7

B. 28

C. 7

D. −28

Answer 1

To solve the expression \( 56 \div (-4) \div (-2) \), we can follow the order of operations step by step.

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

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

Thus, the final result of \( 56 \div (-4) \div (-2) \) is \( 7 \).

The correct answer is: C. 7
