Hello!
If you divide or multiply by one negative number, the number will remain negative. Let's just divide 5.4 and 0.3, and add a negative after.
5.4/0.3=18
We add our negative
-18
Therefore, our quotient is -18.
I hope this helps!
Hey there!
The "[tex] quotient [/tex]" is basically the result of a division equation
[tex] Remember: \\ -,- = + \\ +,+ = + \\-,+ = - \\ +,- = - [/tex]
This pair is: [tex] +, - [/tex] ([tex] Positive (+), negative (-) [/tex]
So, this means your result will be a negative
[tex] \frac{5.4}{-0.3} = -18 \\ \\ (-0.3)(-18) = 54 \\ -18 = -18 [/tex]
Therefore your quotient is [tex] -18 [/tex]
Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!
