To determine

To find: The sum, difference, product, or quotient.

Answer to Problem 12CUR

The quotient of $\text{144 and }-\text{6}$ is $-24$ .

Explanation of Solution

Given information: $\frac{144}{-6}$

Calculation:

Since, both $\text{144 and 6}$ are in the form of division than the result should be the quotient of $\text{144 and 6}$ .

Let’s find the quotient,

  $\begin{array}{l}=\frac{144}{-6}\\ =-24\end{array}$

The result of the quotient is a negative number because the division of one positive sign and one negative sign results a negative sign.

Hence, The quotient of $\text{144 and }-\text{6}$ is $-24$ .
