Operations & Rules
Divide: What is 24 ÷ 6?
4
True or False: A negative ÷ negative = negative. (Answer and correct the statement if false.)
False. Negative ÷ negative = positive.
Convert: What is 3 ÷ 4 written as a decimal?
0.75
Variable evaluation: If x = -12, what is x ÷ 3?
-4
Compute: What is (−8) ÷ 2 + 5?
(-8) ÷ 2 + 5 = -4 + 5 = 1
Divide: What is -42 ÷ 7?
-6
Pattern: If you divide a positive integer by a negative integer, what is the sign of the quotient?
Negative
Simplify: What is 6 ÷ 8 as a simplified fraction?
3/4
Solve for x: x ÷ 4 = -6
x = -24
Order of operations: Calculate: 6 + (−12 ÷ 3)
6 + (−12 ÷ 3) = 6 + (−4) = 2
Divide: What is 5 ÷ -2? Give your answer as a rational number (fraction or decimal).
-5/2 or -2.5
Compute: What is (-36) ÷ (-4)? Then explain how you determined which sign was correct.
9; negative ÷ negative = positive.
Compute: What is (-5) ÷ 2 as a mixed number or fraction?
-5/2 or - 2 1/2
Solve for x: -24 ÷ x = 6
x = -4
Combine operations: What is (−3) × (−4) ÷ 2 ?
(-3) × (-4) ÷ 2 = 12 ÷ 2 = 6
Evaluate: What is (-3/4) ÷ (1/2)?
(-3/4) ÷ (1/2) = (-3/4) × 2 = -3/2 or -1 1/2
Predict: Without calculating fully, determine the sign of (-7) ÷ (2) ÷ (-1). Then explain the rules that you used to figure it out.
Long division: Divide 7 by 3 and tell whether the decimal terminates (ends) or repeats.
2.3333... repeats
Expression: Write an expression (math problem) for "divide y by -5" and when y = 15. Then solve.
y ÷ (-5); when y=15: 15 ÷ (-5) = -3
Multi-step with fractions: Compute: (1/2) ÷ (−1/4) + 3
