Exercise 7 Page 215

When dividing one real number by another, the quotient will be positive if the signs are the same and it will be negative if the signs are different.

11

Practice makes perfect
When dividing one real number by another, the quotient will be positive if the signs are the same and it will be negative if the signs are different. cc Same Sign & Different Signs (+) Ă· (+)=(+) & (+) Ă· (-)=(-) (-) Ă· (-)=(+) & (-) Ă· (+)=(-)

In our case, both numbers are negative. Therefore, the quotient is positive. -44Ă·(-4) = 11 We can verify this using a calculator.
