Question

what is the quotient of −920 divided by 40? which integer rule determines the sign of the quotient? a)23; the quotient of integers with unlike signs is positive. b)−23; the quotient of integers with unlike signs is negative. c)23; the sign of the quotient of integers with unlike signs is the sign of the number with the greater value. d)−23; the sign of the quotient of integers with unlike signs is the sign of the number with the greater absolute value.

Answer 1

the answer is b. all you have to do is divid it. then you get the answer

Answer 2

Option b, −23; the quotient of integers with unlike signs is negative.

Explanation:

Given : -920 divided by 40.

To find : What is the quotient?

Solution :

We have to find the quotient which -920 is divided by 40.

i.e.
`(-920)/(40)= (-92)/(4)=-23`

So, The quotient is -23.

Negative sign because in division if any numerator or denominator one is negative and other is positive then the result is always negative or integers with unlike signs is negative.

`(-ve)/(+ve)=-ve`

Therefore, Option b is correct, −23; the quotient of integers with unlike signs is negative.
