Answer:

-5 ; -3 ; -1.5 ; 0 ; 11 (**Quotient order**) -30/6 ; 21/-7 ; - (-3/-2) ; 0/-20 ; -44/-4 (** Division Problem Order which is the Original Order**)

Explanation:

Here are your division problems:

-30/6 ; 0/-20 ; -44/-4 ; 21/-7 ; - (-3/-2)


First, do the -30 divided by 6

The rule when dividing with a negative and positive is you divide normally but have a negative for your answer.

30 divided by 6 is 5 but carry the negative due to the rule.

First one is -5

Next,

This one is simplistic,

It doesn't matter if it is negative anything divided by 0 is 0

Second one is 0

The next one is -44 divided by -4.

The rule when dividing with negative and negative is they cancel out and become a positive answer.

44 divided by 4 is 11

Third is 11

21 divided by -7 is the same as the first one, divide normally and carry negative.

21 divided by 7 is 3 but carry the negative.

Fourth is -3

Lastly, we need to use the rules once again. the negatives cancel but you still have a negative. This shall be a negative answer.


Here's the twist. 3 can't divide into 2 easily. You need to get a decimal which is fine.

Fifth is -1.5

Now with all of our numbers:

-5, 0, 11, -3, and -1.5 you need to order them from least to greatest.

Rule: The farther you go out with negatives the smaller they are for example like -12.

-5 is first

-3 is second

-1.5 is third

0 is fourth

11 is fifth

-5 ; -3 ; -1.5 ; 0 ; 11 is the quotient order

-30/6 ; 21/-7 ; - (-3/-2) ; 0/-20 ; -44/-4 is the division problem order
