OKAY I GOING HAVE MEATEL BREAK DOWN IF SOMEONE DOES NOT HELP ME THID DUE TODAY AT 11:59PM AND I SO STRESS.

Questions:
a.List examples of division problems that produced a quotient that is a negative number.
b.If the quotient is a negative number, what must be true about the signs of the dividend and divisor?
c.List your examples of division problems that produced a quotient that is a positive number
d.If the quotient is a positive number, what must be true about the signs of the dividend and divisor?

1. A quotient is negative if the divisor and the dividend have______sgins

2. A quotient is positive if the divisor and the dividend have_____sgins

Problem 3:Is the quotient of two integers always an integer? Use the work space below to create quotients of integers. Answer the question, and use examples or a counterexample to support your claim.

4 The rules for dividing integers are similar to the rules for_______integers (when the divisor is not zero). The quotient is positive if the divisor and dividend have the ______ signs and negative if they have ________ signs.

5 The quotient of any two integers (with a nonzero divisor) will be a rational number. If and are integers, then - (p/q)= (---)=(----)

6. Mrs. McIntire, a seventh-grade math teacher, is grading papers. Three students gave the following responses to the same math problem: 1/-2 -(1/2) -1/2

7.On Mrs. McIntire’s answer key for the assignment, the correct answer is −0.5. Which student answer(s) is (are) correct? Explain.

I SO SORRY IF THIS NOT EFFORT COINS BUT JUST PLZ HELP OUT PLZ

time to waste some time on the homework of random strangers again. :D

a) 10/-5, -12/2, 2/-3

b) they must have different signs

c) 10/5, -12/-2, 2/3

d) the must have the same sign

1) A quotient is negative is the divisor and the dividend have different signs

2) A quotient is positive if the divisor and the dividend have the same signs

3) no, sometimes the quotient can be a decimal or a fraction. example: 2/3, 5/2. counterexample: 10/5

4) The rules for dividing integers are similar to the rules for multiplying integers. The quotient is positive if the divisor and dividend have the same signs and negative if they have different signs.

5) gah, the phrasing is a bit odd. I'm afraid you're on your own here..

6 & 7) all three students that answered are correct

goodluck with your classwork/homework.

a good rule for this sorts of stuff in the future is same signs = positive, different signs = negative.
