Evaluate each of the following:
(a) (−30)÷10
(b) 50÷(−5)
(c) (−36)÷(−9)
(d) (−49)÷49
(e) 13÷[−2+1]
(f) 0÷(−12)
(g) (−31)÷[(−30)+(−1)]
(h) [(−36)÷12]÷3
(i) [−6+5]÷[−2+1]
(a) (−30)÷10=(−3)×1010
∴(−30)÷10=−3 [10 gets cancelled]
(b) 50÷(−5)=(−5)×10−5
∴(−50)÷(−5)=10 [−5 gets cancelled]
(c) (−36)÷(−9)=(−9)×4−9
∴(−36)÷(−9)=4 [−9 gets cancelled]
(d) (−49)÷(49)=(−49)×149
∴(−49)÷(49)=−1 [49 gets cancelled]
(e) 13÷[−2+1]
Since, [−2+1]=−1
Thus, 13÷[−2+1]=13÷[−1]=−13
(f) 0÷(−12)=0
As 0 divide by any nonzero quantity gives us 0 only.
(g) (−31)÷[(−30)+(−1)]
Since, (−30)+(−1)=−30−1=−31
Thus, (−31)÷(−31)=1
(h) [(−36)÷12]÷3
Since, (−36)÷12=(−12×3)÷12=−3
[12 gets cancelled]
Thus, [(−36)÷12]÷3=[−3]÷3=−1
(i) [−6+5]÷[−2+1]
Since −6+5=−1 and [−2+1]=−1
Thus, [−6+5]÷[−2+1]=(−1)÷(−1)=1
