Answer:

When dividing a negative by a negative or positive by a positive, the answer will always be positive. When multiplying and dividing by different signs the answer will always be negative.

Multiplying and dividing integers with the same sign and different signs.

When multiplying and dividing with the same sign, the answer will always be positive.

6/3 = 2

-6*-3=18 (Two negatives make a positive)

-4/-2=2 (This is because there are two -2s in -4, so the answer will always be positive- also two negatives make a positive.)

When multiplying and dividing by different signs, the answer will always be negative.

3*-6= -18

4/-2 = -2

Because the answer will always by negative, you can multiply or divide normally and then just add the negative sign (-) in front of the answer.
