Math.. positive & negitives?

Question

in math.. when you divide a negitive number into a positive it is a negitive...or is it a positive

Answer 1

negative

If the two signs are different in a multiplication or division problem, then the answer will be negative.

If the two signs are the same in a multiplication or division problem, then the answer will be positive.

Examples:

-12 / 2 = -6

12 / 2 = 6

-12 / -2 = 6

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

After the division it will be a negative.
A negative times a negative = a positive
A negative times a positive = a negative
A positive times a positive = a positive
A positive divided by a negative = a negative
A positive divided by a positive = a positive

Answer 3

If the signs are the same, you will get a positive; if they are different, you'll get a negative; this is true for both multiplication and division.

Answer 4

negative... it will only be positive if both are the same, either postive or negative. If they're both different then the result will always be negative.

Answer 5

It's a negative. Here's a handy way to learn it. The chart:

- x + = -
(also replace x for / and it's the same)
