Question

The quotient of a number and 3 is -8. Find the number.

Answer 1

Answer:

$\boxed{ \bold{ \huge{ \boxed{ \sf{ - 24}}}}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be 'x'

$\sf{ \frac{x}{3} = - 8}$

Apply cross product property

$\dashrightarrow{ \sf{x = - 8 \times 3}}$

Multiplying positive and negative integers gives a negative integer

$\dashrightarrow{\sf{x = - 24}}$
