Answers:

1: Option B: It is positve

2: Option B: -918 ÷ 34 = -27

3: Option B: False

( if the questions context is ONLY talking about dividing positives by a negative then its true, else if they are talking about ANY circumstance, even if negatives are divided by a negative then its false )

Explanation:

For question 3:

When you divide a negative number by a positive number then the quotient is negative. When you divide a positive number by a negative number then the quotient is also negative. When you divide two negative numbers then the quotient is positive. The same rules hold true for multiplication.

Hope this helped :)
