1. The problem asks which division results in a positive quotient among the options: A. $-18 \div 3$ B. $20 \div (-4)$ C. $-16 \div (-8)$ D. $-30$ (not a division, so ignore) 2. Recall the rule: Division of two numbers with the same sign results in a positive quotient; division of numbers with opposite signs results in a negative quotient. 3. Evaluate each division: - A: $-18 \div 3 = -6$ (negative because signs differ) - B: $20 \div (-4) = -5$ (negative because signs differ) - C: $-16 \div (-8) = 2$ (positive because both are negative) 4. Therefore, the division that results in a positive quotient is option C. Final answer: C. $-16 \div (-8)$
