1)  

 Is 861 ÷ 7 positive or negative



Answer: 2


SOLUTION 1 :

Remember:

When 2 integers have the same sign, the quotient is positive:
positive ÷ positive = positive
negative ÷ negative = positive

When 2 integers have different signs, the quotient is negative:
positive ÷ negative = negative
negative ÷ positive = negative

Solve:

 861 is positive. 7 is positive. Use the rule:

 positive ÷ positive = positive

So, 861 ÷ 7 is positive.

Now check your answer by doing the maths.

861 ÷ 7 = 123

Yes, the answer is positive.

 



2)  

Is -5 × -80 positive or negative



Answer: 1


SOLUTION 1 :

Remember:

When 2 integers have the same sign, the product is positive:
positive × positive = positive
negative × negative = positive

When 2 integers have different signs, the product is negative:
positive × negative = negative
negative × positive = negative

Solve:

-5 is negative. -80 is negative. Use the rule:

negative × negative = positive

So, -5 × -80 is positive.

 

Now check your answer by doing the maths.

-5 × -80 = 400

Yes, the answer is positive.

 



3)  

 Is -468 ÷ 26 positive or negative



Answer: 2


SOLUTION 1 :

Remember:

When 2 integers have the same sign, the quotient is positive:
positive ÷ positive = positive
negative ÷ negative = positive

When 2 integers have different signs, the quotient is negative:
positive ÷ negative = negative
negative ÷ positive = negative

Solve:

-468 is negative. 26 is positive. Use the rule:

negative ÷ positive = negative


So, -468 ÷ 26 is negative.

Now check your answer by doing the maths.

-468 ÷ 26 = -18


Yes, the answer is negative.



4)  

 Is -315 ÷ 35 positive or negative



Answer: 1


SOLUTION 1 :

Remember:

When 2 integers have the same sign, the quotient is positive:
positive ÷ positive = positive
negative ÷ negative = positive

When 2 integers have different signs, the quotient is negative:
positive ÷ negative = negative
negative ÷ positive = negative

Solve:

-315 is negative. 35 is positive. Use the rule:

negative ÷ positive = negative


So, -315 ÷ 35 is negative.

Now check your answer by doing the maths.

-315 ÷ 35 = -9


Yes, the answer is negative.



5)  

 Is 288 ÷ 36 positive or negative



Answer: 1


SOLUTION 1 :

Remember:

When 2 integers have the same sign, the quotient is positive:
positive ÷ positive = positive
negative ÷ negative = positive

When 2 integers have different signs, the quotient is negative:
positive ÷ negative = negative
negative ÷ positive = negative

Solve:

 288 is positive. 36 is positive. Use the rule:

 positive ÷ positive = positive

So, 288 ÷ 36 is positive.

Now check your answer by doing the maths.

288 ÷ 36 = 8

Yes, the answer is positive.

 



6)  

Is -5 × -35 positive or negative



Answer: 1


SOLUTION 1 :

Remember:

When 2 integers have the same sign, the product is positive:
positive × positive = positive
negative × negative = positive

When 2 integers have different signs, the product is negative:
positive × negative = negative
negative × positive = negative

Solve:

-5 is negative. -35 is negative. Use the rule:

negative × negative = positive

So, -5 × -35 is positive.
