Solve Division Problem: (-0.3) ÷ (-1) Step by Step

Question

$(-0.3):(-1)=\text{ ?}$

00:00 Solve

00:03 Negative divided by negative is always positive

00:15 Any number divided by 1 is always equal to itself

00:22 And this is the solution to the question

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

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

$\frac{0.3}{1}=$

Remember the rule:

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

Any number we divide by 1 will be equal to itself, therefore:

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

$+0.3$
