To determine if a quotient will be positive or negative, we need to check the signs of the dividend and the divisor.
In option A, 1001 is positive and -143 is negative. Therefore, the quotient will be negative.
In option B, -111 is negative and 37 is positive. Therefore, the quotient will be negative.
In option C, -725 is negative and -29 is negative. Two negatives divided together result in a positive quotient.
In option D, 657 is positive and -23 is negative. Therefore, the quotient will be negative.
Therefore, only in option C, the quotient will be positive.
without calculating which of the following quotients can you determine will be positive
A 1001 divided (-143)
B -111 divided 37
C -725 divided (-29)
D 657 divided (-23)
