Use these numbers to answer the questions:

(a) Is Carson’s statement always true, sometimes true, or always false? Write two equations to support your answer.
(b) Write a rule for dividing two negative decimals.

Respuesta :

(a) Carson's statement is always true.
For example: (-7.2)/(-2.4)= 3 >0
(-1.6)/(-0.8)= 2 >0

(b) When we divide two negative decimals, we divide the decimals and don't care about the sign, for the sign is always positive.

Hope this helps~
