1) The answer will be negative because a negative divided my a positive will always be negative and visa-versa.

2) 5 goes into 48 9 times; 5(9) = 45

3) 5 cannot go into 3 so add a 0 to make 30 and place a decimal after -9

4) 5 can go into 30 6 times; 5(6) = 30

5) The remainder is 0 and your answer is C. -9.6
