Question

Renee divided an integer “x” by -4 and got 10. Then, she divided the 10 by integer “y” and got -2. Find the quotient of integers “x” and “y”. What's the quotient of x and y?
Write a complete explanation (5 or more sentences) about how you got to this answer and include your steps.

Answer 1

Answer:

x=-40, y= -5 the quotient of x and y ie x/y = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

we first have that when -4 divides x we get 10, thus x must be -40, simmilarly we have that 10/y = -2 thus y= -5 , therefore y=-5, their ratio or quotient is simply -40/-5 = 8.
