If the signs are the SAME the answer is POSITIVE LO: to be able to multiply and divide negative numbers. The Rules: Multiplying +ve x +ve = +ve -ve x -ve = +ve +ve x -ve = -ve -ve x +ve = -ve Dividing +ve ÷ +ve = +ve -ve ÷ -ve = +ve +ve ÷ -ve = -ve -ve ÷ +ve = -ve If the signs are the SAME the answer is POSITIVE If the signs are DIFFERENT the answer is NEGATIVE
= 48 -12 x -4 -ve x -ve = +ve Example 1 The signs are the same so the answer is POSITIVE! Just do as you would normally do when multiplying the numbers. = 48 Try: 1) -7 x -2 2) -9 x -10 3) -11 x -19 4) -2 x -5y
63 ÷ -7 = -9 +ve ÷ -ve = -ve Example 2 Do the calculation as if it was just 63 ÷ 7. (= 9) Decide which rule you need to use. +ve ÷ -ve = -ve (The signs are different so the answer is NEGATIVE) = -9
