Question

Veronica wants to check her work after evaluating Negative 108 divided by (negative 6). What steps can she follow to verify her answer?

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer to your question is 18

Step-by-step explanation:

Process

1.- Write the fraction given

              $\frac{-108}{-6}$

2.- Divide the numbers as usual

               18

         6  108

               48

                 0

3.- Divide the signs

      negative / negative = positive

4.- Write the answer

        $\frac{-108}{-6}= 18$

5.- Check the result

Multiply 18 by -6 and the result must be -108

       -6 x 18 = 108

Answer 2

We know a negative times a negative is equal to a positive.

- 108 / - 6      is the same as 108 / 6     because the larger number is on top.

Therefore she can drop the negative signs and solve 108/6 to verify her answer.
