Answer:

The value of the given expression is 84.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given expression is

$\frac{252}{3}$

The number 252 can be written as 240+12, because 24 can easily divisible by 3.

The compatible numbers are 240 and 12

$\frac{252}{3}=\frac{240+12}{3}$

$\frac{252}{3}=\frac{240}{3}+\frac{12}{3}$

$\frac{252}{3}=80+4$

$\frac{252}{3}=84$

Therefore the value of the given expression is 84.

Which expression has a positive quotient?

svp [43]

Answer:

Only 1st option Negative three-fourths divided by Negative two-thirds has positive quotient.

Option A is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

We will solve to find out Which expression has a positive quotient.

We know the division rule: $\frac{-a}{-b}=\frac{a}{b}$ and $\frac{-a}{b}=\frac{-a}{b}$

We will use these rules

1) Negative three-fourths divided by Negative two-thirds

$=\frac{-\frac{3}{4} }{-\frac{2}{3} }\\=-\frac{3}{4}\times -\frac{3}{2}\\=\frac{9}{8}$

The quotient is positive.

2) Negative StartFraction 1 over 8 EndFraction divided by 3 and one-fifth

$\frac{-\frac{1}{8} }{3\frac{1}{5} }\\=\frac{-\frac{1}{8} }{\frac{16}{5} }\\=-\frac{1}{18} \times \frac{5}{16}\\=-\frac{5}{288}$

The quotient is negative.

3) 2 and StartFraction 2 over 7 EndFraction divided by negative one-fifth

$\frac{2\frac{2}{7} }{-\frac{1}{5} }\\= \frac{\frac{16}{7} }{-\frac{1}{5} }\\=\frac{16}{7} \times -5\\=-\frac{80}{7}$

The quotient is negative.

4) Negative 6 divided by Five-thirds

$\frac{-6}{\frac{5}{3} }\\=-6 \times \frac{3}{5}\\=-\frac{18}{5}$

The quotient is negative.

So, only 1st option Negative three-fourths divided by Negative two-thirds has positive quotient.

Option A is correct.
