Question

(-85)÷20 =how to solve it

Answer 1

Answer:

= -85÷20

= -4.25

Explanation:

First simply divide the 2 numbers. As 85 is not divisible by 20, the result will come in decimal form.

Now, about the sign,

As in the question, there is only one minus(-) sign the result will have minus sign in it.

Hence, if the problem(question) has 2 numbers having two minus signs then the result will be in plus and if 1 number out of the two numbers will have minus sign then the result will have minus sign.(This implies with division and multiplication only)
