Question

EVALUATE THE EXPRESSION WHEN P = -24 AND Q = 4

P/3Q

A. 2

B. -2

C. 24

D. -24

Answer 1

B. -2

Explanation:

We have been given an expression
`(P)/(3Q)` and we are asked to evaluate our expression, when P=-24 and Q=4.

Let us substitute P=-24 and Q=4 in our given expression.

`(-24)/(3*4)`

Let us multiply 3 by 4.

`(-24)/(12)`

`-(24)/(12)`

Upon dividing 24 by 12 we will get,

`-(24)/(12)=-2`

Therefore our expression simplifies to -2 and option B is the correct choice.
