Answer 1

Answer:

To divide three or more integers, it is important that we perform the division operation from left to right. In addition, we can accomplish it by dividing two integers at a time. The parenthesis shows the first two integers to divide, and whatever is the result or quotient will be divided by the next one. So we have here, – 252 divided by + 7 is equal to – 36. It is a negative quotient since we are dividing two integers that have different signs. Then we take that quotient and divide it by the integer that follows. We get –36 ÷ –9 = + 4.

-252/(+7)/(-9)=[(-252)/(+7)]/-9=(-36)/-9=+4
