Examples with solutions for Multiplication and Division of Signed Mumbers: Multiplication of signed numbers

Exercise #1

200:200200= 200:-200\cdot200=

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

Let's solve the exercise from left to right.

First, we'll write the division problem in the form of a fraction:

200200×200= \frac{200}{-200}\times200=

We should note that we are dividing a positive number by a negative number, so the result will necessarily be a negative number:

200200×200= -\frac{200}{200}\times200=

Let's simplify the 200 and we get:

200 -200

Answer

200 -200

Exercise #2

38:014= -3\cdot8:0\cdot-14=

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

Let's write the exercise in the following way:

3×80×14= \frac{-3\times8}{0}\times-14=

We'll remember that it's not possible to divide a number by zero, and therefore the expression has no meaning.

Answer

There is no meaning to the expression
