What is the quotient of of 842.4/ -0.6 a $1,404 b -14.04 c -140.4 d -1,404

Answer 1

To find the quotient of \( 842.4 \div -0.6 \), we can perform the division:

\[ 842.4 \div -0.6 = -(842.4 \div 0.6) \]

Now, calculate \( 842.4 \div 0.6 \):

\[ 842.4 \div 0.6 = 842.4 \times \frac{10}{6} = 842.4 \times \frac{5}{3} \]

Calculating that step by step:

1. \( 842.4 \times 10 = 8424 \)
2. \( 8424 \div 6 = 1404 \)

So, \( 842.4 \div 0.6 = 1404 \), therefore:

\[ 842.4 \div -0.6 = -1404 \]

Thus, the answer is:

\[ \boxed{-1,404} \]
