Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To divide a positive number by a negative number, we get a negative quotient. Thus, 102 ÷ (-17) = -6. To find the quotient of a division problem, we divide the dividend (the number being divided) by the divisor (the number it is being divided by). In this case, dividing 102 by -17 gives us -6 with a remainder of 6. Since the question only asks for the quotient, we can ignore the remainder and choose option B, which is the quotient of -6.
