Question

Jeremiah's tutor gave him a math problem to solve. The problem was 546÷−6. His tutor said he solved the problem correctly. What was Jeremiah's answer?

Answer 1

Answer: Jeremiah's answer was -91.

Explanation:

Jeremiah's tutor gave him a math problem to solve.

Given problem: 546 ÷ − 6

Since 546 ÷ 6 = 91

Then, 546 ÷ − 6 = -(546 ÷ 6) = -91 [∵ In integers (a÷(-b))= (-a ÷b)= - (a÷b)]

If Jeremiah's answer was correct , then the answer would be -91.

Hence, Jeremiah's answer was -91.
