Last Monday, we learned how to divide fractions.
There's 2 ways of doing this.
Elementary or Junior High
If you don't know how to do the Junior High, read & view this scribe post!
There was no negatives in the equation so it's a positive.
'How many times can 3 go into 12?' = 4
Now listen up, this part is important.
If 1 number is negative, it's like this :
(-12) ÷ 3 = (-4)
But if 2 numbers are negative, it's like this :
(-12) ÷ (-3) = 4
So here's the SIGN RULE.
2 negatives = positive answer
1 negative = negative answer
It doesn't have to be 1 or 2 only, odds & evens too.
1-3-5-7-9-11
2-4-6-8-10-12
