Video Solution

Solution Steps

00:00 Complete the appropriate sign
00:05 We'll solve from left to right, one operation at a time
00:09 We'll write division as a fraction
00:13 0 divided by any number is always equal to 0
00:17 Let's substitute in our exercise and continue solving
00:31 Here too, the same thing, 0 divided by any number is always equal to 0
00:37 And this is the solution to the question

Step-by-Step Solution

Let's solve the exercise from left to right:

015= \frac{0}{15}=

Remember the formula:

0x=0 \frac{0}{x}=0

If we divide zero by any number, the result will always be zero.

Now we are left with the following exercise:

0:16?0 0:-16?0

Let's solve the exercise:

016= \frac{0}{-16}=

If we remember the formula above, we should see that the result is zero.

The final exercise will look like this:

0?0 0\text{?}0

Therefore, the missing sign is:

0=0 0=0

Answer

=
