Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
1. (a) 24 X 3/4= 18 multiplication
you have to multiply to get a smaller answer since you are using a fraction.
2. (a) 24 / (-3/4)= -32 division
you have to divide to get a bigger number than started since you are using a fraction
3. (A) 12-15= -3 subtraction
when you subtract a bigger number than the first number you end up normally with a negative number
4. (a) 12 -(-15) subtraction
when you subtract with a negative number you distribute so the two negatives cancel out and it become an addition sign. (if you look at it the two negatives and the parenthesis looks like an addition sign (+)
5. (A) -18 / (-3/4) =24 division
when you divide two negative values you will always get a positive answer. And again dividing a fraction will get you a bigger answer.
