Question

Drag the tiles to the correct boxes to complete the pairs.

Match each division expression to its quotient.

Answer 1

16/-8=-2

Whenever dividing a -negative number and +positive number= number will be always -

3 3/7 / 1 1/7= 24/7 *7/8= 3 ( Cross out 7 and 7, divide by 1). Cross out 8 and 24 and divide by 8) ( Also always flip over the second fraction only when dividing)

3 3/7= 24/7 because multiply the denominator and whole number. 3*7=21

Add 21 with the numerator (3)= 21+3=24

-12.2 / (-6.1)=2

Whenever dividing two - negative numbers= + positive number

-2 2/5 / 4/5= -12/5*5/4=-3 Cross out 5 and 5- divide by 5. Cross out 4 and -12, divide by 4

Answers:

- 2 = 16/-8=-2

3= 3 3/7 /( dividing )1 1/7= 3

2= -12.2 / (-6.1)=2

-3=-2 2/5 / ( dividing) 4/5=-3

Answer 2

1). -2 = 16 ÷ (-8)

2) 3 =
`3(3)/(7)` ÷
`1(1)/(7)`

3). 2 = (-12.2) ÷ (-6.1)

4). -3 = -
`2(2)/(5)` ÷
`(4)/(5)`

Explanation:

1). 16 ÷ (-8) = -
`(16)/(8)=-2`

2).
`3(3)/(7)` ÷
`1(1)/(7)`

=
`(24)/(7)` ÷
`(8)/(7)`

=
`(24)/(7)* (7)/(8)`

= 3

3). (-12.2) ÷ (-6.1)

=
`(12.2)/(6.1)`

= 2

4). -
`2(2)/(5)` ÷
`(4)/(5)`

= -
`(12)/(5)` ÷
`(4)/(5)`

= -
`(12)/(5)` ×
`(5)/(4)`

= -3
