Which expressionism equivalent to -60 / 5 select all that apply 60 divided by negitive 5 60 times 1/5 60 times negitive 1/5 Negitive 60 times negitive 1/5

Answer 1

Answer:

Equivalent expressions

A) $\frac{60}{-5}$

C)  $60\times (-\frac{1}{5})$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given expression :

$\frac{-60}{5}$

Choices given :

A) $\frac{60}{-5}$

B) $60\times \frac{1}{5}$

C)  $60\times (-\frac{1}{5})$

D) $-60\times (-\frac{1}{5})$

To find the equivalent expression.

We will first evaluate the given expression.

$\frac{-60}{5}$

⇒ $-12$    [Quotient of a negative dividend and a positive divisor is always negative]

Evaluating each choice to select the equivalents.

A) $\frac{60}{-5}$

⇒ $-12$    [Quotient of a positive dividend and a negative divisor is always negative]

B) $60\times \frac{1}{5}$

⇒ $\frac{60}{5}$

⇒ $12$

C)  $60\times (-\frac{1}{5})$

⇒ $-\frac{60}{5}$   [Product of a positive and a negative is always a negative]

⇒ $-12$

D) $-60\times (-\frac{1}{5})$

⇒ $\frac{60}{5}$   [Product of two negatives is always a positive]

⇒ $12$

∴ We see that the choices A and C are equivalent.
