Question

The quotient of a number and 3 is -8. Find the number.

Answer 1

`\boxed{ \bold{ \huge{ \boxed{ \sf{ - 24}}}}}`

Explanation:

Let the number be 'x'

`\sf{ (x)/(3) = - 8}`

Apply cross product property

`\dashrightarrow{ \sf{x = - 8 * 3}}`

Multiplying positive and negative integers gives a negative integer

`\dashrightarrow{\sf{x = - 24}}`

Hope I helped!
