Answer 2

Normally I'd ask you to look up "Order of Operations" rules, but in this problem the only math operations involved are multiplication and change of sign.

Start at the left and work your way towards the right. show your work, please. With each step, skip to the next line below (so no = signs will be needed).

Answer 3

You can think of it like this:
\[\huge~\rm~\bf~\frac{ 24\times \frac{ -1 }{ 4} }{ 3}\]

Answer 4

thx its 2

Answer 5

Well done

Answer 6

\[24\times(-\frac{ 1 }{4 })\div(-3)= 24\times(-\frac{ 1 }{ 4 })\times(\frac{ 1 }{ -3 })\\=24\times \frac{ 1 }{ 12 }= \frac{ 24 }{ 12 }= 2\]

Answer 7

you can divide 24 by -3, which gives you -8, and then you'd have \[-\frac{ 8 }{ 1 } \times-\frac{ 1 }{ 4 }\] multiplying you get 8/4 = 2.
