A quotient will be positive if both the values of the numerator and denominator have the same sign, where both are positive or both are negative. A quotient will be negative if numerator and denominator have opposite sign, where a positive is divided by a negative or vice versa. In 32/8, +32/+8, both the numerator and denominator have the same sign (both are positive) so the quotient will be positive.

the answer is positive because when you divide 2 of the same sign by each other, they are positive result, but when differenct, then negative result

((+))/((+)) =(+)

((-))/((-)) =(+)

((+))/((-)) =(-)

((-))/((+)) =(-)


so since 32/8=
((+))/((+)) the answer is +

answer is positive
