Answer: 1/2
Step-by-step explanation: When dividing integers, if the signs are the same, the quotient is positive. So a negative divided by a negative always equals a positive. In this problem -3 ÷ -6 is 0.5.
However, there is no 0.5 on the list so we need to write the decimal as a fraction.
To write the decimal 0.5 as a fraction, we use the place value chart. 0.5 means 0 units and 5 tenths which can be written as the fraction 5/10.
Notice however that 5/10 is not in lowest terms so we need to divide the numerator and denominator by the greatest common factor of 5 and 10 which is 5 to get the equivalent fraction 1/2.
