2. Warm Up Multiply or divide. 1. 6(7) 42 3. 42 7 ÷ 6 2. 4. 4
42 7 ÷ 6 2. 4. 4
5. Write as a mixed number. 6.
Write as an improper fraction.

3. Objective
Multiply and divide real numbers.

4. Factors Product When you multiply two numbers, the signs of the
numbers you are multiplying determine whether
the product is positive or negative.
Factors
Product
3(5) Both positive
15 Positive
3(–5) One negative
– Negative
–3(–5) Both negative
Positive
This is true for division also.

5. Multiplying and Dividing Signed Numbers
WORDS
Multiplying and Dividing Numbers with the Same Sign
If two numbers have the same sign, their product or quotient is positive.
NUMBERS
4  5 = 20
–15 ÷ (–3) = 5

6. Multiplying and Dividing Signed Numbers
WORDS
Multiplying and Dividing Numbers with Different Signs
If two numbers have different signs, their product or quotient is negative.
NUMBERS
6(–3) = –18
–18 ÷ 2 = –9

7. Example 1: Multiplying and Dividing Signed Numbers
Find the value of each expression. A.
The product of two numbers
with different signs is negative. –5 B.
The quotient of two numbers
with the same sign is positive. 12

8. Check It Out! Example 2a
Divide.
Write as an improper fraction.
To divide by , multiply by
and have the same signs, so the quotient is positive.

9. No number can be multiplied by 0 to give a product of 1, so 0 has no reciprocal.
Because 0 has no reciprocal, division by 0 is not possible.
**We say that division by zero is undefined. a

10. Properties of Zero Multiplication by Zero The product of any number
and 0 is 0.
WORDS 1 3
· 0 = 0
0(–17) = 0
NUMBERS
ALGEBRA
a · 0 = 0
0 · a = 0

11. Properties of Zero Zero Divided by a Number The quotient of 0 and any
nonzero number is 0.
WORDS 6
= 0
0 ÷ 2 3
= 0
NUMBERS a
= 0
ALGEBRA
0 ÷ a = 0

12. Properties of Zero Division by Zero WORDS Division by 0 is undefined.–5
12 ÷ 0
NUMBERS
Undefined a
ALGEBRA
a ÷ 0
Undefined

13. Example 3: Multiplying and Dividing with Zero
Multiply or divide. 15 A.
Zero is divided by a nonzero number.
The quotient of zero and any nonzero
number is 0.
B. –22  0
A number is divided by zero.
undefined
Division by zero is undefined.
C. –8.45(0)
A number is multiplied by zero.
The product of an number and 0 is 0.

14. Example 4: Recreation Application
The speed of a hot-air balloon is 3 mi/h. It travels in a straight line for 1 hour before landing. How many miles away from the liftoff site does the balloon land? 1 3 4
Find the distance traveled at a rate of 3 mi/h for 1 hour.
To find distance, multiply rate by time. 3 4 1
rate
times
time 3 4 1 3  1 3

15. Example 4: Recreation Application3 4 • 1 = 15
Write and as improper fractions. 3 4 1
15(4)
4(3) = 60 12
Multiply the numerators and
multiply the denominators. 3 4
and have the same sign, so
the quotient is positive. 1
= 5
The hot-air balloon lands 5 miles from the liftoff site.
