-72 ÷ (-12) How would i find the Quotient to these ?

HanAkoSolo (jamierox4ev3r):

first, remove the negatives and divide 72 by 12. What do you get @Babez_1999 ?

HanAkoSolo (jamierox4ev3r):

because remember, when you divide a negative by a negative, the outcome will be positive

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i get 6 ,

HanAkoSolo (jamierox4ev3r):

right, and because dividing a negative by a negative gives you a positive answer, 6 is your final answer!

HanAkoSolo (jamierox4ev3r):

Does that make sense @Babez_1999 ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Jamierox4ev3r couldn't message you because of something about being a fan
