The correct statement is "Division is neither commutative nor associative."
To divide signed numbers, we can follow these rules:
1. Division with two negative numbers or two positive numbers will result in a positive quotient.
2. Division with one negative number and one positive number will result in a negative quotient.
In this case, we have 56 ÷ (-4) ÷ (-2).
First, let's perform the division of 56 ÷ (-4):
56 ÷ (-4) = -14.
Now, we have -14 ÷ (-2).
Since both numbers are negative, the quotient will be positive.
Using the rule, -14 ÷ (-2) = 7.
Therefore, the quotient when you divide 56 ÷ (-4) ÷ (-2) is 7.
To divide signed numbers, you need to follow the rules for division. In this case, we have the expression 56 ÷ (-4) ÷ (-2).
To solve this, we divide the numbers from left to right. First, we divide 56 by -4:
56 ÷ (-4) = -14
Next, we divide -14 by -2:
-14 ÷ (-2) = 7
Therefore, the quotient when you divide 56 ÷ (-4) ÷ (-2) is 7.
