E N D
Step 1 • Decide if signs are the same or different
You try • (3) (-4) • Different • (-5) (-7) • Same • 10/-2 • different
If signs same • If the signs are the same then the product or quotient is • positive
If sign different • If the signs are different then the product or quotient is negative
You try • 15/-3 • Quotient is negative • (3) (6) • Product is positive • (-5) (6) • Product is negative
Last step • Divide or multiply the numbers
You try the whole process • 1. (-9) (5) • Signs different • Product negative • 9 times 5 is 45 • Answer -45 • 2. -12/-6 • Signs same • Quotient is positive • 12 divided by 6 is 2 • Answer is 2
