Question

-20 • 3
——————— =
-30 ÷ 3

Answer 1

Hi there!

To solve the following question -20*3/-30÷3, here's what we would do first:

Step 1) Solve the first part of the question, -20 * 3.

-20 * 3= -60. Remember, a negative and a positive always end up with a negative answer.

Step 2) Solve the second part of the question, -30 ÷ 3.

-30 ÷ 3 = -10. The same rule for negative numbers and positive numbers to make a negative outcome applies here as well.

Step 3) A fraction bar usually means to divide the numerator by the denominator, and in this case the numerator is -60, and the denominator is -10.

This part is a little bit different because there are TWO negative numbers, and two negatives make a positive.

Divide -60 by -10.

-60 ÷ -10 = 6.

Final answer:

6. The answer is 6.

I hope I was able to help simplify the equation for you! ^-^

Answer 2

-20 * 3 / -30 / 3

First multiply the top and divide the bottom to simplify the problem:

-20 * 3 = -60

-30/3 = -10

Now you have -60 / -10

Divide:

-60 / -10 = 6
