Answer:

-1.2

and - 2

there you are hope this helps

Explanation:

ok first you do 6 divided by 5 which equals 1.2

and do 6 divided by 3 equals 2.

but then the 5 in the first one is a negative so if one of the numbers is a negative then it will be a negative so because the 6 was not a negative that means the answer is a negative.

1. Find out interger A and B

A÷(-5)=6 A has to be a negative number (neg×neg=pos)

What divided by 5 equals 6? 30

So, therefore, -30÷(-5)=6 A=(-30)

6÷B=(-3) B is negative (pos×neg=neg)

6÷(-2)=(-3) So therefore, B= -2

2. Find quotient of interger A and B

(-30)÷(-2)=15

The answer is 15!
