Question

5. Which of these expression checks the solution to the division problem -8 =(-2) = 4?
(a)-8 * (-2)
(b) 4 x 4
(c)-2 x 2
(d) 4* (-2)​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

ㅤ➜The correct answer is

ㅤOption A {-8 × ( -2)}

$\\ \\ {\bold{\bf{\underline{Explanation \: :→}}}}$

${\bold{\sf{The \: expression \: shown \: in \: the \: question, \: -8 \: ÷ \: (-2) \: = \: 4}}}$

${\bold{\sf{Implies \: the \: rule \: that \: on \: dividing \: 2 \: negative \: integers \: we \: get \: a \: positive \: integer}}}$

${\bold{\sf{\fbox{\purple{Example :-}}}}}$

${\bold{\sf{-10 \: ÷ \: (-5) \: = \: 2}}}$

${\bold{\sf{And \: this \: same \: thing \: applies \: on \: Option A}}}$

${\bold{\sf{→ \: -8 \: × \: -2 \: = \: 16}}}$

$\\ {\bold{\sf{༒ Option \: A \: check \: the \: solution \: of \: the \: division \: problem}}}$
