thanks for the help! =)

Answer 1

-5.68 divided by (-0.02)

(-5.68)/(-0.002)
multiply the numerator by 1000/1000 to get
(-5.68*1000)/(-0.002*1000)=
-5680/(-2) = 2840

Note: dividing a negative number by a negative number we get a positive number

Answer 2

There are many ways to do this, here's one--

First, the minus signs will cancel, so you have 5.68 / 0.02
You could rewrite the numerator and denominator as fractions, so you get (568/100) / (2/100)
To divide a number by a fraction, invert the fraction and multiply, so (568/100) * (100/2).
Group the numerators and denominators together, so you get (568 * 100) / (100 * 2)
The 100 terms cancel, so you have 568 / 2
Simplifying, it's 284.

Answer 3

5.68 divided by .02.
Forget the negative sign, as long as both are negative the answer is still positive so they don't matter.

The easiest way is to multiply both numbers by 100 so that you get rid of the decimals.
So now you have 568/2, which is 284.

Answer 4

-5.68/-.02=284
move decimal place over 2 places and the problem becomes 568/2 and -/-=+

Answer 5

284

Answer 6
