Question

True or false?

The quotient of a positive integer and a negative integer is always positive.

Explain why it’s true or false

Answer 1

False bc if you add a positive number and a negative number it will always be negative. If you add a negative and a negative number then it will always be positive.

Answer 2

False

Explanation:

An integer is a whole number that is can be written as a fraction, such as common numbers to use on a number line. Ex. -5,-4,-3,-2,-1,0,1,2,3,4,5 are all examples of integers. The quotient between a positive whole number and a negative whole number will always be negative, not positive. For example 2/-1 is equal to negative two. Any positive number divided by any negative number will turn out to be a negative quotient.
