| 4) Is -576 ÷ 48 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: -576 is negative. 48 is positive. Use the rule: negative ÷ positive = negative
Now check your answer by doing the maths. -576 ÷ 48 = -12
|
| 5) Is -960 ÷ 12 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: -960 is negative. 12 is positive. Use the rule: negative ÷ positive = negative
Now check your answer by doing the maths. -960 ÷ 12 = -80
|
| 6) Is -6 × -40 positive or negative
Answer: 2 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. -40 is negative. Use the rule: negative × negative = positive So, -6 × -40 is positive.
Now check your answer by doing the maths. -6 × -40 = 240 Yes, the answer is positive.
|
| 7) Is 945 ÷ 21 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: 945 is positive. 21 is positive. Use the rule: positive ÷ positive = positive So, 945 ÷ 21 is positive. Now check your answer by doing the maths. 945 ÷ 21 = 45 Yes, the answer is positive.
|
| 8) Is -312 ÷ 24 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: -312 is negative. 24 is positive. Use the rule: negative ÷ positive = negative
Now check your answer by doing the maths. -312 ÷ 24 = -13
|
| 9) Is -855 ÷ 19 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: -855 is negative. 19 is positive. Use the rule: negative ÷ positive = negative
Now check your answer by doing the maths. -855 ÷ 19 = -45
|
| 10) Is -8 × -35 positive or negative
Answer: 2 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: -8 is negative. -35 is negative. Use the rule: negative × negative = positive So, -8 × -35 is positive.
