Question

Allen's score in a video game was changed by −55 points because he missed some targets. He got −11 points for each missed target. How many targets did he miss?

Answer 1

Allen missed 5 targets.

Explanation:

You divide -55 by -11 to find how many targets he missed. But when you divide, you have to remember that a negative divided by a negative is a positive, so the answer will be postitive.

-55/-11=5
