What will be the sign of the result?
In this question, we only need to know whether the resulting number is negative or positive.
In that case, we can rewrite the division exercise as follows:
If we solve the exercise from left to right, we will first divide the numerator of the negative fraction by the denominator of the negative fraction.
Therefore, the resulting fraction will be positive:
Now the remaining exercise will look like this:
Therefore, the sign of the result will be negative.

What will be the sign of the result of the next exercise?
\( (-2)\cdot(-4)= \)
Think of it as "opposite of opposite" - when you divide a negative by a negative, you're essentially removing the negative, making it positive. Just like !
No! You must follow order of operations. In this problem, you first do to get a positive result, then divide by -1.7.
Remember PEMDAS! Division operations of equal priority work left to right. So means do the fraction first, then divide by -1.7.
Yes! For multiplication and division, count negative signs in the final expression after following order of operations. Odd count = negative, even count = positive.
The colon (:) is another way to write division, just like ÷. So means the same as or .
