Question

Michael said, “When I divide 6 by 3, 2, or 1, the quotient is less than or equal to 6. If I divide −6 by 3, 2, or 1, I think the quotient should be less than or equal to −6. Do you agree with him? Explain.

Answer 1

Yes and No, if you divide 6 by 3, 2, or 1, it will have a quotient less than 6. Dividing 6 by 3 = 2, 6 by 2 = 3, 6 by 1 = 6.
