Question

Evaluate the following: $\left[\left(-36\right)÷12\right]÷3$

Answer 1

Determine the value of $\left[\left(-36\right)÷12\right]÷3$.

To divide a negative integer by a positive integer divide first as whole numbers and then place a minus sign $\left(-\right)$ before the quotient, according to the division rule.

The value is as follows:

$\begin{array}{rcl}\left[\left(-36\right)÷12\right]÷3& =& \left[-3\right]÷3\\ & \Rightarrow & \left[\left(-36\right)÷12\right]÷3=-1\end{array}$

Hence, the value is $-1$.
