using the rules for dividing signed numbers wwhat is the quotient when you divide 56 divided by ( -4) divided by ( -2) a. -7 b. 28 c. 7 d. -28

Answer 1

To solve the problem \( 56 \div (-4) \div (-2) \), we can simplify step by step.

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

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

Thus, the quotient is \( 7 \).

The correct answer is c. 7.
