Answer 2

Concept:

An integer is generally defined as a number which can be written without a fractional component that is it is a whole number. For example, 2, - 4, 0, and −248.

Given:

We are given that a number is multiplies by - 12 to get - 300.

Find:

We need to find the number.

Solution:

Let the number be x.

So, ATQ, we get that:

x × (- 12) = - 300

Dividing both sides by  - 1, we get that:

x × (12) = 300

Now dividing both sides by 12, we get that:

x = 25.

Therefore, the integer that should be multiplied by -12 to get -300 is 25.
