Question

divide.
27 ÷ (-0.03)
27 ÷ (-0.03) = \square (type an integer or decimal.)

Explanation:

Step1: Recall division rule for signs

When dividing a positive number by a negative number, the result is negative. So, \(27\div(-0.03)=-(27\div0.03)\).

Step2: Perform the division of magnitudes

Calculate \(27\div0.03\). We can rewrite this as \(\frac{27}{0.03}\). Multiply numerator and denominator by 100 to eliminate the decimal: \(\frac{27\times100}{0.03\times100}=\frac{2700}{3} = 900\).

Step3: Apply the sign from Step1

Since we had a negative sign from Step1, the result is \(-900\).

Answer:

\(-900\)
