Determine which of the following quotients are negative.
Solution:
In order to determine which will result to negative, we must simply understand first the concept of multiplying, dividing, or introducing signs. If similar signs are introduced, multiplied or divided to one another, the answer will become positive, hence if the signs are opposite to one another, then the answer will become negative.
2.2/9.5
= 0.23
-0.5/0.021
=-23.8
-1.3/-54.321
=0.0023
0.4/-0.4
= -1
Final answer:
-0.5/0.021
0.4/-0.4
