Solve -4/-8 ÷ 0.7: Determining the Final Sign

Question

Will the result of the exercise below be positive (+) or negative (-)?

$\frac{-4}{-8}:0.7$

00:00 Find the result sign

00:03 Let's find the sign of each number

00:10 Negative divided by negative always equals positive

00:19 Positive divided by positive always equals positive

00:22 And this is the solution to the question

In this question, we only need to work out whether the resulting value is negative or positive.

In other words, the division exercise can be considered as follows:

$\frac{-}{-}:+=$

If we solve the exercise from left to right, we first divide the numerator of the negative fraction by the denominator of the negative fraction:

$\frac{-}{-}=+$

This leaves us with:

$+:+=+$

Therefore, the result of the exercise will be positive.
