Solution

The correct option is B -5
When a positive number is divided by a negative number, the quotient is negative.

So, $65 \div (- 13) = - (65 \div 13)$

We know that division is a repeated subtraction.

Consider a number line.

We know that $13 \times 5 = 65$ .

So, from 65 if we subtract 13 five times, we will reach zero.

$65 \div 13 (s t e p s i z e) = 5 (j u m p s) + 0$

So, $- (65 \div 13) = - 5$ .
