(i) -1
(ii) -5
(iii) -36
(iv) 1

Question 2.
Say True or False:
(i) (-30) ÷ (-6) = -6
(ii) (-64) ÷ (-64) is 0
Solution:
(i) False
(ii) False

Question 3.
Find the values of the following.
(i) (-75) ÷ 5
(ii) (-100) ÷ (-20)
(iii) 45 ÷ (-9)
(iv) (-82) ÷ 82
Solution:
(i) $$\frac{-75}{5}$$ = -15
(ii) $$\frac{-100}{-20}$$ = 5
(iii) $$\frac{45}{-9}$$ = -5
(iv) $$\frac{-82}{82}$$ = -1

Question 4.
The product of two integers is -135. If one number is -15. Find the other integer.
Solution:
Given the product of two integers = -135
One of them = -15
∴ -15 × Another number = -135
Other number = $$\frac{-135}{-15}$$ = 9
∴ The other number = 9.

Question 5.
In 8 hours duration, with uniform decrease in temperature, the temperature dropped 24°C. How many degrees did the temperature drop each hour?
Solution:
In 8 hours the drop in temperature = 24
In 1 hour the drop in temperature = $$\frac{24}{8}$$ = 3°
The temperature dropped 3°C every hour.

Question 6.
An elevator descends into a mine shaft at the rate of 5 m/min. If the descent starts from 15 m above the ground level, how long will it take to reach -250 m?
Solution:
The elevator’s position = 15 m above ground level = +15 m
It should reach = -250 m
The distance to be travelled = 15 – (-250) m = 15 + (+250) m 265 m
Time taken to descend 5 m = 1 min
∴ Time required to descend 265 m = $$\frac{24}{8}$$ = 53 min

Question 7.
A person lost 4800 calories in 30 days. If the calory loss is uniform, calculate the loss of calory per day.
Solution:
Loss of calory in 30 days = 4800
∴ Loss of calory in 1 day = $$\frac{4800}{30}$$ = 160 calories
∴ 160 calories lost per day.

Question 8.
Given 168 × 32 = 5376 then fined (-5376) ÷ (-32).
Solution:
Given 168 × 32 = 5376
∴ $$\frac{5376}{32}$$ = 168
Also, $$\frac{-5376}{-32}$$ = 168

Question 9.
How many -4’s are there is (-20)?
Solution:
Number of -4’s in (-20) = $$\frac{-20}{-4}$$ = 5

Question 10.
(-400) divided into 10 equal parts gives ____
Solution:
$$\frac{-400}{10}$$ = -4
