Determine the Sign: -0.9 ÷ 1.1 ÷ (-4) Step-by-Step Solution

Question

What will be the sign of the result of the exercise?

$\frac{-0.9}{1.1}:(-4)$

00:08 First, let's determine the sign of the result.

00:15 Think about what sign each number has. Are they positive or negative?

00:24 Remember, a negative number divided by a positive number is always negative.

00:30 And a negative number divided by another negative number is always positive.

00:36 Great job! That's how we find the sign of the answer to this problem.

Let's see if the number is negative or positive.

As you can see, in the expression the numerator is negative and the denominator is positive.

That is, the division exercise will look like this:

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

The result of the expression will be a negative number, since we are dividing a negative number by a positive number.

Therefore, the exercise that will be obtained will look like this:

$-:-=+$

Therefore, the sign of the result of the exercise will be negative.
