Question

Select the TRUE statement. A) (-4) ÷ 2 = -2 ÷ 4 B) (-4) ÷ 2 = 2 ÷ 4 C) (-4) ÷ 2 = 4 ÷ 2 D) (-4) ÷ 2 = 4 ÷ -2

Answer 1

A) (-4) ÷ 2 =-2 ÷ 4

-2 ≠ -1/2 ...........FALSE

B) (-4) ÷ 2 = 2 ÷ 4

-2 ≠ 1/2 ...........FALSE

C) (-4) ÷ 2 = 4 ÷ 2

-2 ≠ 2 ...........FALSE

D) (-4) ÷ 2 = 4 ÷ -2

-2 = -2 ...........TRUE

Answer:

D) (-4) ÷ 2 = 4 ÷ -2

Answer 2

The correct answer would be D.

This is because both equations have the 4 divided by the 2 and each equation has a negative number, so the answer would have the same negative answer.

-4 / 2 = -2

4 / -2 = -2
