[AI-generated answer — Step-by-Step Bot]

To find the quotient of −18.42 ÷ −1.2, we can divide the two numbers as follows:

Step 1: Write down −18.42 as the dividend and −1.2 as the divisor.

Step 2: Perform the division.

-15.35
______________
-1.2 | -18.42

Step 3: Subtract the product of the divisor (−1.2) and the quotient (−15.35) from the dividend (−18.42).

-15.35
______________
-1.2 | -18.42
-18.00
____________
0.58

Step 4: Bring down the next digit (if any). There are no more digits to bring down.

Step 5: We have a remainder of 0.58, but since the quotient is an integer division, we disregard the remainder.

Therefore, the quotient of −18.42 ÷ −1.2 is −15.35.
