HURRY PLS this is due in 33 minutes pls will give thanks and brainliest
Jordan is using a number line to model the division expression -24 / 12. What should be a step in his work?

A.Draw a chain of bounces to the right, 12 units wide, starting at –24 and ending at 12.

B.Draw a chain of bounces to the left, 12 units wide, starting at 0 and ending at –24. C.Draw a chain of bounces to the right, 12 units wide, starting at 0 and ending at 24. D.Draw a chain of bounces to the left, 12 units wide, starting at 24 and ending at 0.

I'm pretty sure it's A.

Answer: B. Draw a chain of bounces to the left, 12 units wide, starting at 0 and ending at –24.

Explanation:

The dividend is obviously -24, so that tells us where we will end. The 12 is the divisor and is the number of groups we need to make (dividing by grouping). It is a positive 12, so we start at zero and move left to stop at the first group or bounce which would be from 0 to -12. The second group or bounce would be from -12 to -24. This will give us our negative amount of groups, because we are moving left, in this case, -2. We can check by using the inverse (or opposite) operation.

12 * -2 =-24
