Question

practice
for exercises 1 - 14, find the quotient.

1. $\frac{-24}{8}$

...

1. $\frac{-44}{-9}$

Explanation:

Step1: Identify the division problem

We have the division of a fraction: $\frac{-24}{8}$.

Step2: Perform the division

Dividing -24 by 8, we know that $-24 \div 8 = -3$ because $8\times(-3)=-24$.

Step1: Identify the division problem

We have $\frac{-44}{4}$.

Step2: Perform the division

$-44 \div 4 = -11$ since $4\times(-11)=-44$.

If it's $\frac{-44}{9}$, the quotient is $-\frac{44}{9}\approx -4.89$ (but likely a typo for $\frac{-44}{4}$ or $\frac{-45}{9}$ etc.). Assuming the first problem is $\frac{-24}{8}$ and the second is $\frac{-44}{4}$ (correcting possible typo), the answers are -3 and -11. But based on the first clear one:

For $\frac{-24}{8}$:

Step1: Recognize fraction division

We need to divide -24 by 8.

Step2: Calculate the quotient

Since $8\times(-3) = -24$, so $\frac{-24}{8} = -3$.

Answer:

-3

For the second problem (assuming it's $\frac{-44}{4}$? Wait, the image shows $\frac{-44}{9}$? Wait, maybe a typo. If it's $\frac{-44}{4}$:
