Question

Which of the following does not represent an integer?
(a) 0 ÷ (– 7) (b) 20 ÷ (– 4) (c) (– 9) ÷ 3 (d) (– 12) ÷ 5

Answer 1

the correct answer is option (d)(-12) / 5

as its fractional no. which represents -2.4

Answer 2

Given:

We have given equations which are in the question.

To Find:

We have to find the equation that does not represent integers?

Step-by-step explanation:

• a) 0 ÷ (– 7)
• First of all, we will simplify the given equation for getting to know that it is integer or not.

        $\Rightarrow\frac{0}{-7} =0$

• If we divide 0 by any number will give 0 hence , it is integer.
• b)20 ÷ (– 4)
• For simplifying the above equation we will divide the 20 by -4 we get the answer.

        $\Rightarrow\frac{20}{-4} =-5$

• The above number is also an integer.
• c) (– 9) ÷ 3
• For simplifying the above equation we will divide the -9 by 3 we get the answer.

       $\Rightarrow\frac{-9}{3} =-3$

• The above number is also an integer.
• d)(– 12) ÷ 5
• For simplifying the above equation we will divide the -9 by 3 we get the answer.

        $\Rightarrow\frac{-12}{5} =-2.4$

• The above number is not an integer.

Hence, option d is the correct answer.
