Problem is 490 divided by negative 15.
I don't understand the process of coming up with the answer. negative 32.7
I don't understand how to write out the problem and come up with a decimal
------------
490/(-15)
The result will be negative, right?
= - (490/15)
= - (98/3)
---------
98/3 = 32.666.... repeating 6's
--> 32.7
--------
Or 32.67, or 32.666667
