To calculate the quotient of \( 48.4 \div -0.8 \), follow these steps:
-
Divide the absolute values: \[ 48.4 \div 0.8 = 60.5 \]
-
Since one of the numbers is negative (\(-0.8\)), the result will also be negative.
Thus, the final result is: \[ 48.4 \div -0.8 = -60.5 \]
So, the quotient is \(-60.5\).
