Step-by-Step Solution

The product −49 is negative and one factor (−7) is negative, so must be positive. 49 ÷ 7 = 7, so . Check: .
Answer: D) 7

Key idea: Dividing integers

The sign rule for division is **the same as for multiplication**: same signs → positive, different signs → negative.

12 ÷ 4 = 3
(−12) ÷ (−4) = 3
12 ÷ (−4) = −3
(−12) ÷ 4 = −3

Also: integer ÷ 1 = the integer; integer ÷ itself = 1; **never divide by 0** — division by zero is undefined.
