Students will be able to:
use the relationship between multiplication and division to divide integers.
determine which quotients of integers are equivalent.
The relationship between multiplication and division can be useful when dividing positive and negative integers.
The rules for dividing integers are related to the rules for multiplying integers.
If the signs of the dividend and the divisor are the same, the quotient is positive.
24 ÷ 4 = 6
-24 ÷ (-4) = 6
If the signs of the dividend and the divisor are different, the quotient is negative.
-15 ÷ 3 = -5
15 ÷ (-3) = -5
