So she could figure out the price of each apple was.
Step-by-step explanation:
[(-3 × 2 × (-4)] ÷ [-6 × 12]
[3 × 2 × -4] ÷ [-6 × 12]
[6 × -4]/[-6 × 12]
-4/(-1 × 12]
-4/-12
⅓
Option A is wrong
Option B is wrong -9/-18 = ½ not ⅓
Option C is correct = -24/-72 = ⅓
Option D is wrong = 9/-18 = -½ not ⅓
The answer is 2.
This is because the line crosses the x axis in 2 different places.
Hope this helps!
