Question

PLEASE HELP ASAP! The quotient of two rational numbers is positive. What can you conclude about the signs of the dividend and the divisor?

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Both dividend and divisor have same sign -  

(i) both have positive sign  or

(ii) both have negative sign

Eg:

(i) $\frac{10}{2}=5$

(ii)$\frac{-10}{-2}=5$

Answer 2

Answer:

They either both have to be positive or negative.

Step-by-step explanation:

1 / 1 = 1

-1 / -1 = 1

This gets you positive, when both dividend and divisors are positive or negative.

-1 / 1 = -1

1 / -1 = -1

This gets you negative, when both dividend and divisors are different signs.
