Exercise 36 Page 42

When dividing numbers of opposite signs, the quotient is negative.

- 11

Practice makes perfect

Notice that the numerator and denominator have opposite signs. Since the quotient of a negative and a positive number is always negative, we can move the negative to the front of the fraction. - 121/11 = - 121/11 Now we will rewrite 121 as 11* 11 to further simplify the quotient.

- 121/11
- 11* 11/11
- 11* 1/1
- 11/1
- 11
