1. Evaluate each of the following:
(a) (–30) ÷ 10 (b) 50 ÷ (–5) (c) (–36) ÷ (–9)
(d) (– 49) ÷ (49) (e) 13 ÷ [(–2) + 1] (f ) 0 ÷ (–12)
(g) (–31) ÷ [(–30) + (–1)]
(h) [(–36) ÷ 12] ÷ 3 (i) [(– 6) + 5)] ÷ [(–2) + 1]
Points to keep in mind:
When we divide a negative integer by a positive integer, we first divide them as whole numbers and then put a minus sign (–) before the quotient.
When we divide a positive integer by a negative integer, we first divide them as whole numbers and then put a minus sign (–) before the quotient.
When we divide a negative integer by a negative integer, we first divide them as whole numbers and then put a positive sign (+).
