Answer:

-1.7

Explanation:

To solve this, you use the rule of BODMAS

Bracket of Division, Multiplication, Addition and Subtraction. This states that when faced with a mathematical problem involving more than one sign, you solve the problem in that order of signs.

16÷7-8÷2

In the question above, we have the Division sign and minus sign. From the BODMAS rule, we solve the division first before the minus.

16÷7 - 8÷2

2.28-4

=-1.7
