Question

What is the quotient of 5.4 and -0.3

Answer 1

Hello!

If you divide or multiply by one negative number, the number will remain negative. Let's just divide 5.4 and 0.3, and add a negative after.

5.4/0.3=18

We add our negative

-18

Therefore, our quotient is -18.

I hope this helps!

Answer 2

Hey there!

The "$quotient$" is basically the result of a division equation

$Remember: \\ -,- = + \\ +,+ = + \\-,+ = - \\ +,- = -$

This pair is: $+, -$ ($Positive (+), negative (-)$

So, this means your result will be a negative

$\frac{5.4}{-0.3} = -18 \\ \\ (-0.3)(-18) = 54 \\ -18 = -18$

Therefore your quotient is $-18$

Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!
