Problem 2
Find the quotients.
- \(\frac25 \div \frac34\)
- \(\frac94 \div \frac {\text{-}3}{4}\)
- \(\frac {\text{-}5}{7} \div \frac {\text{-}1}{3}\)
- \(\frac {\text{-}5}{3} \div \frac16\)

Problem 3
Is the solution positive or negative?
- \(2\boldcdot x=6\)
- \(\text-2\boldcdot x=6.1\)
- \(2.9 \boldcdot x = \text-6.04\)
- \(\text-2.473\boldcdot x = \text-6.859\)
Solution

Problem 4
Find the solution mentally.
- \(3 \boldcdot \text-4 = a\)
- \(b \boldcdot (\text-3) = \text-12\)
- \(\text- 12 \boldcdot c = 12\)
- \(d \boldcdot 24 = \text-12\)
