Explanation:
Since you know that you will get smaller results when the divisor is a whole number, avoid putting whole numbers for your divisor.
Divide by negative numbers only because this is the only way for a quotient to be positive and to be bigger than 10.
(-) / (-) = (+)
Take - 10 as your dividend.
Dividing a number by
is the same as multipying a number by
. The number will become smaller when you divide it by 5 than by 2. Avoid
for your divisor and take
.
![(-10)/((-2)/(5) )](https://img.qammunity.org/2022/formulas/mathematics/college/2pvxl1ppmu3xmtg3nhap11gc2b1te4wcoj.png)
= -10*
![(-5)/(2)](https://img.qammunity.org/2022/formulas/mathematics/college/h8ibz1hhb7i09zwrb8jk4t9f86acwgsz6y.png)
