Question

Write five pairs of integers (a, b) such a ÷ b = − 3. One such pair is (6, − 2) because 6 ÷ (− 2) = (− 3).

Answer 1

(i) (3, −1)

Because 3 ÷ (−1) = −3

(ii) (−3, 1)

Because (−3) ÷ 1 = −3

(iii) (9, −3)

Because 9 ÷ (−3) = −3

(iv) (−9, 3)

Because (−9) ÷ 3 = −3

(v) (12, −4)

Because 12 ÷ (−4) = −3
