To determine whether the quotient will be positive or negative, we need to know the rule that states "a negative number divided by a negative number is positive."
Looking at the options, we can see that only the first option, −725 ÷ (−29), has a negative number divided by a negative number. Therefore, we can determine that the quotient for this option will be positive.
So the correct answer is:
−725 ÷ (−29)

To determine which of the options does not have the same value as the others, we need to evaluate the values.
Looking at the options, we can see that the first three options are written as fractions, whereas the fourth option is a whole number.
To compare the fraction options, let's simplify them:
-37 = -37
-3/7 = -3/7
3/-7 = -3/7
Therefore, the third option, 3−7, does not have the same value as the others.
So the correct answer is:
3−7

To divide signed numbers, we follow the rule that states "a negative number divided by a positive number is negative, and a positive number divided by a negative number is also negative."
Using this rule, let's simplify the expression:
56 ÷ (-4) ÷ (-2)
When we divide 56 by -4, we get -14:
-14 ÷ (-2)
Now, when we divide -14 by -2, the quotient is positive:
-14 ÷ (-2) = 7
Therefore, the correct answer is:
7

To find the quotient of -7 ÷ (-3), we can follow the rule that states "a negative number divided by a negative number is positive."
Therefore, the quotient of -7 ÷ (-3) is positive, and the value is:
-7 ÷ (-3) = 7/3
So the correct answer is:
Start Fraction 7 over 3 End Fraction
What is the quotient of −7÷(−3)?(1 point)

To find the quotient of -7 ÷ (-3), we can follow the rule that states "a negative number divided by a negative number is positive."
Therefore, the quotient of -7 ÷ (-3) is positive, and the value is:
-7 ÷ (-3) = 7/3
So the correct answer is:
Start Fraction 7 over 3 End Fraction

To determine whether the quotient will be positive or negative, we need to know the rule that states "a negative number divided by a negative number is positive."
Looking at the options, we can see that the first and third options have a negative number divided by a negative number. Therefore, we can determine that the quotients for the following options will be positive:
-725 ÷ (-29)
1,001 ÷ (-143)
So the correct answer is:
−725 ÷ (−29)
1,001 ÷ (−143)
