To determine if a quotient will be positive or negative, we need to consider the signs of the dividend and divisor.
For a quotient to be positive:
- The dividend and divisor can both be positive, or
- The dividend and divisor can both be negative.
Based on this, we can determine that the following quotients will be positive without calculating them:
A: -725 divided by -29
C: -111 divided by 37
without calculating which of the following quotients can you determine will be positive.
A: -725 divide (-29)
B: 1,001 divide (-143)
C: -111 divide 37
D: 657 divide (-23)
