Multiplying Decimals

Question 1 • SS-Math 7

Which expressions of signed decimal numbers have negative quotients? Check all that apply.

Answer
A
1.4 ÷ 99.9
B
5.7 ÷ –2.2
C
–0.01 ÷ 0.05
D
–3 ÷ –0.009
E
0 ÷ –8.6

Explanation

A quotient is negative when the two numbers have opposite signs. In B, 5.7 is positive and –2.2 is negative; in C, –0.01 is negative and 0.05 is positive, so both quotients are negative. The numbers in A and D have the same sign, and E has a quotient of zero, which is not negative.
