Hi there!
To solve the following question -20*3/-30÷3, here's what we would do first:
Step 1) Solve the first part of the question, -20 * 3.
-20 * 3= -60. Remember, a negative and a positive always end up with a negative answer.
Step 2) Solve the second part of the question, -30 ÷ 3.
-30 ÷ 3 = -10. The same rule for negative numbers and positive numbers to make a negative outcome applies here as well.
Step 3) A fraction bar usually means to divide the numerator by the denominator, and in this case the numerator is -60, and the denominator is -10.
This part is a little bit different because there are TWO negative numbers, and two negatives make a positive.
Divide -60 by -10.
-60 ÷ -10 = 6.
Final answer:
6. The answer is 6.
I hope I was able to help simplify the equation for you! ^-^
