Question

Please explain. 100 / (-5) =

Answer 1

That would be -20. a negative divided by a negative number is positive, positive divided by negative is negative bc even numbers of negatives make it positive. and ofc 20 x 5 = 100, hence the ‘20’

Answer 2

The correct answer would be -20. To get the answer use the rules of signs for division. If you used the rules correctly the problem would look like this : -(100 / 5). The answer would be -(20) in which case you would remove the parenthesis and get he answer -20.
