Question

write two division problems related to the multiplication problem below. 8×(-2)=-16

Answer 1

We can write two division problems related the given equation as follows.

Division problem one :

Here 8 is in multiplication with -2 on the left side.

so when we bring this 8 on the right side, we will have to apply opposite operation of multiplication which is division.

so dividing (-16) by 8 on the right side, we have:

$-2=\frac{-16}{8}$

Division problem two :

Here -2 is in multiplication with 8 on the left side.

so when we bring this (-2) on the right side, we will have to apply opposite operation of multiplication which is division.

so dividing (-16) by (-2) on the right side, we have:

$8=\frac{-16}{-2}$
