Question

Evaluate the following: $13÷\left[(-2)+1\right]$

Answer 1

Evaluate for the required value:

Given expression is $13÷\left[(-2)+1\right]$

First, resolve the expression in brackets in accordance with the BODMAS rule.

$\Rightarrow 13÷\left[(-2)+1\right]=13÷\left[-1\right]$

According to the division rule, we must first divide the two integers into whole numbers before adding the minus sign $(-)$ to the quotient when we divide a positive integer by a negative integer.

$\Rightarrow 13÷\left[-1\right]=-\frac{13}{1}=-13$

Hence the required value is $-13$.
