Courses Overview

🎬 Video Tutorial

(0:01) Sign Rules for Multiplying and Dividing Negative Numbers: Odd number of negative signs → Negative result. Even number of negative signs → Positive result.
(0:39) How to Multiply and Divide Negative Negatives (Examples):
(-2) × (-5) × (-3) = -30 (3 negatives → result is negative). (-24) ÷ 4 ÷ (-2) = 3 (2 negatives → result is positive).
(1:52) Multiplication and Division with Negative Numbers (Examples): (-28) ÷ 4 × (-3) = 21 (2 negatives → result is positive). (-15) × (-3) ÷ (-5) = -9 (3 negatives → result is negative).

Q: Simplify: $(- 8) \div 4 \times (- 2)$ .

-4

2

-2

4

Feedback: Not quite! Start with $- 8 \div 4 = - 2$ . Then, multiply $- 2 \times - 2$ . Since there are two negative signs, the result is positive 4.

Feedback: Well done! Start with $- 8 \div 4 = - 2$ . Then, multiply $- 2 \times - 2$ . Since there are two negative signs, the result is positive 4.

3 / 6

Q: Simplify: $(- 6) \div 2 \times (- 5)$ .

15

30

-30

-15

Feedback: Not quite! First, divide $- 6 \div 2 = - 3$ , then multiply $- 3 \times - 5 = 15$ . To double-check, since there are two negative signs in total, the result must be positive.

Feedback: Well done! First, divide $- 6 \div 2 = - 3$ , then multiply $- 3 \times - 5 = 15$ . To double-check, since there are two negative signs in total, the result must be positive.
