Multiplication and Division of Signed Mumbers: Dividing a negative number by 1 and (-1)

$(-0.3):(-1)=$

Note that we are dividing two negative numbers, so the result will necessarily be a positive number.

Let's write the exercise in the form of a simple fraction:

$\frac{0.3}{1}=$

Let's remember the rule:

$\frac{x}{1}=x$

In other words, any number we divide by 1 will be equal to itself, therefore:

$\frac{0.3}{1}=0.3$

$+0.3$

$(-118):(-1)=$

Note that we are dividing two negative numbers, so the result will necessarily be a positive number.

Let's write the exercise in the form of a simple fraction:

$\frac{118}{1}=$

Let's remember the rule:

$\frac{x}{1}=x$

In other words, any number we divide by 1 will be equal to itself, therefore:

$\frac{118}{1}=118$

$+118$

$(-17):(-1)=$

Note that we are dividing two negative numbers, so the result must be a positive number.

Let's write the exercise as a simple fraction:

$\frac{17}{1}=$

Let's remember the rule:

$\frac{x}{1}=x$

In other words, any number we divide by 1 will be equal to itself, therefore:

$\frac{17}{1}=17$

$+17$

$(-34.597):(-1)=$

Note that we are dividing two negative numbers, which means the result of the exercise will necessarily be a positive number.

Let's write the exercise in the form of a simple fraction:

$\frac{34.597}{1}=$

Let's remember the rule:

$\frac{x}{1}=x$

In other words, any number we divide by -1 will be equal to the negative of itself, therefore:

$\frac{34.597}{1}=34.597$

$+34.597$

$(-3.8):(-1)=$

Note that we are dividing two negative numbers, so the result must be a positive number.

Let's write the exercise in the form of a simple fraction:

$\frac{3.8}{1}=$

Let's remember the rule:

$\frac{x}{1}=x$

In other words, any number we divide by 1 will be equal to itself, therefore:

$\frac{3.8}{1}=3.8$

$\text{+3}.8$

$-42:-1=$

Note that we are dividing two negative numbers, so the result must be a positive number.

Let's write the exercise in the form of a simple fraction:

$\frac{42}{1}=$

Let's remember the rule:

$\frac{x}{1}=x$

In other words, any number we divide by 1 will be equal to itself, therefore:

$\frac{42}{1}=42$

$+42$

$(+4):(-1)=$

Due to the fact that we are dividing a positive number by a negative number, the result must be a negative number:

$+:-=-$

Therefore:

$-(4:1)=-4$

$-4$

$(-74):(-1)=$

Note that we are dividing between two negative numbers, so our result will necessarily be a positive number.

Let's write the exercise in the form of a simple fraction:

$\frac{74}{1}=$

Let's remember the formula:

$\frac{x}{1}=x$

In other words, any number we divide by 1 equals the number itself, therefore:

$\frac{74}{1}=74$

$+74$

$(-8):(-1)=$

Note that we are dividing two negative numbers, so the result must be a positive number.

Let's write the exercise in the form of a simple fraction:

$\frac{8}{1}=$

Let's remember the rule:

$\frac{x}{1}=x$

In other words, any number we divide by 1 will be equal to itself, therefore:

$\frac{8}{1}=8$

$+8$

$-\frac{1}{8}:-1=$

Note that we are dividing two negative numbers, so the result must be a positive number.

Let's write the exercise in the form of a simple fraction:

$\frac{\frac{1}{8}}{1}=$

Let's remember the rule:

$\frac{x}{1}=x$

In other words, any number we divide by 1 will be equal to itself, therefore:

$\frac{\frac{1}{8}}{1}=\frac{1}{8}$

$+\frac{1}{8}$

$(-94.7):(-1)=$

Note that we are dividing two negative numbers, so the result must be a positive number.

Let's write the exercise in the form of a simple fraction:

$\frac{94.7}{1}=$

Let's remember the rule:

$\frac{x}{1}=x$

In other words, any number we divide by 1 will be equal to itself, therefore:

$\frac{94.7}{1}=94.7$

$+94.7$

Solve the following:

$\frac{850}{-1}=$

Let's note that we are dividing a positive number by a negative number, and therefore the result will necessarily be a negative number:

$+:-=-$

Let's remember the rule:

$\frac{x}{1}=x$

In other words, any number divided by 1 will be equal to itself.

Therefore:

$\frac{850}{-1}=-850$

$-850$

Solve the following:

$(-7\frac{1}{2}):(+1)=$

Note that we are dividing a negative number by a positive number, and therefore the result will necessarily be a negative number:

$-:+=-$

We will write the exercise in the following way:

$\frac{-7\frac{1}{2}}{1}=$

Let's remember the rule:

$\frac{x}{1}=x$

In other words, any number divided by 1 will be equal to itself.

Therefore, the answer is:

$-7\frac{1}{2}$

$-7\frac{1}{2}$

$(+24):(-6)=$

Since we are dividing a positive number by a negative number, the result must be a negative number:

$+:-=-$

Therefore:

$-(24:6)=-4$

$-4$

Solve the following:

$\frac{-50}{1}=$

Note that we are dividing a negative number by a positive number, and therefore the result will necessarily be a negative number:

$-:+=-$

Let's remember the rule:

$\frac{x}{1}=x$

In other words, any number divided by 1 will be equal to itself.

Therefore:

$\frac{-50}{1}=-50$

$-50$

Solve the following:

$\frac{60}{-120}=$

$-\frac{1}{2}$
