Question

Write (T) for true and (F) for false for each of the following statements.

(i) 0 ÷ (−4) = 0
(ii) (−6) ÷ 0 = 0
(iii) (−5) ÷ (−1) = −5
(iv) (−8) ÷ 1 = −8
(v) (−1) ÷ (−1) = −1
(vi) (−9) ÷ (−1) = 9

Answer 1

(i) True (T). Dividing zero by any integer gives zero.
(ii) False (F). Division by zero gives an indefinite number.

(iii) False (F). $\frac{-5}{-1}=5$

(iv) True (T). $\frac{-8}{1}=-8$

(v) False (F). $\frac{-1}{-1}=1$

(vi) True (T). $\frac{-9}{-1}=9$
