@phi Not to hard of a question +Medal

OpenStudy (phi):

you have to learn how to multiply and divided negative or positive numbers if you have *one* minus sign, the answer will be negative if you have *two* minus signs, the answer is positive. when you do -20 / 4 how many minus signs do you have ?

OpenStudy (ebayminer126):

One?

OpenStudy (phi):

yes, only 1 minus sign so what should the answer be ? + or - ?

OpenStudy (ebayminer126):

It will be a negative number

OpenStudy (phi):

and your answer only shows 5 so you should fix that

OpenStudy (ebayminer126):

Thanks now part B :D

OpenStudy (phi):

the -5 should go in part B

OpenStudy (ebayminer126):

Okay so..?

OpenStudy (phi):

you should add a sentence saying what the -5 means. what do you think it means ?

OpenStudy (ebayminer126):

The reason there is a -5 because a negative divided by a positive = a negative number

OpenStudy (ebayminer126):

@phi

OpenStudy (phi):

OpenStudy (ebayminer126):

OpenStudy (phi):
