AThe rule for dividing signed numbers is:
Two numbers with different signs have a quotient that is negative.
Two numbers with the same signs have a quotient that is positive.
b. \(-3\frac{1}{3} \div 2\frac{1}{2} \\\\-\frac{10}{3} \div \frac{5}{2}\\\\-\frac{10}{3} \times \frac{2}{5} = -\frac{2}{3}\times \frac{2}{1} = -\frac{4}{3} = \boxed{-1\frac{1}{3}}\)
Question #2
a. \(-\frac{17}{8} \div \frac{-17}{4} = \frac{-17}{8} \times \frac{-4}{17} = \boxed{\frac{1}{2}}\)
b. \(4.03 \div -3.1 = 4.03\times \frac{1}{-3.1} =\boxed{ -1.3}\)
c. \(\frac{-5}{6} \div \frac{-15}{7} = \frac{-5}{6}\times \frac{7}{-15} =\boxed {\frac {7}{18}}\)
d. \(-20.582\div -4.1 = \bpxed {5.02}\)
