Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

8 I 17

    2.12

If we divide 17 by 8, answer is 2 and 1 is remaining.

To further divide you have to insert a decimal point after 2 and insert 0 next to the remainder.

Then the number will become 10

If we divide 10 by 8, 1 is the answer (2.1) and 2 remains.

Again insert a zero after the remainder.

So the number is 2 0

If we divide 20 by 8 answer is 2  (2.12) and we have 4 as remaining.

We can write decimal with two places.

So 17/8 is 2.12

Next, you have to see the signs.

If both numbers have the same signs, then the answer will come in positive (+)

If both numbers have different signs, then the answer will come in negative (-)

Here both numbers have different signs.

So, the answer will come in negative (-)

Thus final answer is -2.12
