Consider the expression -24 / (-6) * 2. Select all statements that are true about the way it is evaluated.
Its value is 8.✓Richtige Antwort
The division and the multiplication rank equally, so they are worked from left to right, which puts the division first here.✓Richtige Antwort
Its value is 2, because the multiplication is carried out before the division.
Its value is -8, because a negative shared into negative parts stays negative.
Erklärung
Operations of equal rank are worked through from left to right, so twenty-four below zero is shared into parts of six below zero to give four, and doubling that gives eight. Multiplying the six by the two first regroups the expression into a different one, and the two negative signs cancel rather than survive into the result.
