| 5) Is -170 ÷ 34 positive or negative
Answer: 1 SOLUTION 1 : Remember: When 2 integers have the same sign, the quotient is positive: When 2 integers have different signs, the quotient is negative: Solve: -170 is negative. 34 is positive. Use the rule: negative ÷ positive = negative
Now check your answer by doing the maths. -170 ÷ 34 = -5
|
| 6) Is 403 ÷ 31 positive or negative
Answer: 2 SOLUTION 1 : Remember: When 2 integers have the same sign, the quotient is positive: When 2 integers have different signs, the quotient is negative: Solve: 403 is positive. 31 is positive. Use the rule: positive ÷ positive = positive So, 403 ÷ 31 is positive. Now check your answer by doing the maths. 403 ÷ 31 = 13 Yes, the answer is positive.
|
| 7) Is -400 ÷ 20 positive or negative
Answer: 2 SOLUTION 1 : Remember: When 2 integers have the same sign, the quotient is positive: When 2 integers have different signs, the quotient is negative: Solve: -400 is negative. 20 is positive. Use the rule: negative ÷ positive = negative
Now check your answer by doing the maths. -400 ÷ 20 = -20
|
| 8) Is -6 × -80 positive or negative
Answer: 1 SOLUTION 1 : Remember: When 2 integers have the same sign, the product is positive: When 2 integers have different signs, the product is negative: Solve: -6 is negative. -80 is negative. Use the rule: negative × negative = positive So, -6 × -80 is positive.
Now check your answer by doing the maths. -6 × -80 = 480 Yes, the answer is positive.
