Review: Multiplying and Dividing Positive and Negative Numbers

Starter: In your teams, discuss each question. 

  1. What division problem is represented?
  2. What multiplication problem is represented?
  3. Solve: -54 ÷ 9 =
  4. Evaluate: 18 ÷ -3 =
  5. Simplify: -24 ÷ -12 =
  6. Write 18 ÷ -2 in two other ways without changing the value of the quotient.
  7. Complete the statement: Any number divided by zero is ___________.
  8. Complete the statement: All rational numbers either __________ or ______ when shown in decimal form.
  9. Use long division to convert 5/8 to a decimal.
  10. Juan says that -56.289 ÷ 7.582 = -7.424, but Diego says that the quotient should be -0.1347. Whose answer is more reasonable? Why?
  11. Evaluate: 93+(-81)-(-46)-(-52)=
Consider this:
Division means distributing equally. If you have no candy, you can distribute it equally among 20 people: everyone gets 0 pieces of candy. But if you have 20 pieces of candy, you cannot distribute it equally with 0 people: the candy has to go somewhere, even if it goes in the garbage instead of to a person.


For the rest of the class period, you'll need your Chromebook.
