Answer:

-5

Explanation:

The equation, -60 ÷ ____ = 12 can be easily reversed to help us find the missing divisor.

To find the missing divisor, we can rewrite the equation as -60 ÷ 12 = ___.

This way, we can find what the quotient (the divisor of the original equation).

-60 ÷ 12 is equal to -5, so therefore the divisor of -60 ÷ ___ = 12 is -5!

So the finished equation would look like this: -60 ÷ -5 = 12!

(To check your work, multiply -5 by 12 to see if it equals -60 :D)

Hope this helps!!
