Question

SRII: Problem Solving
You know that division in an inverse operation of multiplication. Let's see an example of whole
numbers
Since 3* 5 = 16
So, 15+5 = 3 and 15 + 3 = 5
Similarly 4* 3 = 12 gives 12 + 4 = 3 and 12 + 3 = 4
We can say that for each multiplication statement of whole numbers there are two division
statemente
1.a) Can you write multiplication statement and its correspondence division statement for
integers? Try doing that and complete the table:
Multiplication statement
24 (-6) (12)
Corresponding division statement
(-4) - 5 (-20)
(-8) » (-9) = 72
(-3) × (-7) = 20
​

Answer 1

Solution:

i ) multiplication statement:

(-4)×(5) = (-20)

Corresponding division statement:

(-20)÷(-4) = 5

(-20)÷5 = (-4)

ii)(-8)×(-9) = 72

72 ÷ (-8) = (-9)

72 ÷ (-9) = (-8)

iii)(-3) × (-7) = 21

21 ÷ (-3) = (-7)

21 ÷ (-7) = (-3)
