to have a quotient with at negative sign, both a & b must have opposites signs. a can be a positive number while b is a negative number or vice versa. If both a and b have the same sign, its quotient will be a positive number.
Let us disregard the sign. To arrive at the answer of 2, a must be twice the amount of b. meaning a = 2b.
For example: look for a if b is equal to 2. a = 2(2) ; a = 4. a / b = 2 4 / 2 = 2 2 = 2
Now, we consider the sign of both numbers. a can be 4 while b can be -2 OR vice versa.
a / b = -2 4 / -2 = -2 or -4 / 2 = -2
What is 9\4 as a mixed number
Answers
Okay so the formula is
1. Divide the numerator by the denominator. 2. Write down the whole number answer. 3. Then write down any remainder above the denominator.
so your answer is 2 1/4
U can divide 9 by 4 which equals 2.25 in decimal form but in fraction from it would look like this 2 1/4
How do you reduce 6/36
Answers
You reduce it to 1/6 because 6 goes into 6 once and 6 goes into 36 six times giving you 1/6
Find the gcd (greatest common divisor). In other words, what's the biggest number that fits into both 6 and 36? The answer is 6, so divide both 6 and 36 by 6 and you get 1/6.

What is greater , 42,000 mg or 24 g?
Answers
mg=miligrams=1/1000 gram so conversion factor is 1g/1000mg mulriply 42,000mg by 1g/1000mg units cancel and you are left with 42g 42 g and 24 g 42 is greater than 24g so
42,000 mg is greater
42000 mg is greater Hope this helps! :)
