Answer the following (2 points each).
19) What is the difference between 0 ÷ 12 and 12 ÷ 0? Solve each problem and then explain your answer by
using at least one complete sentence.
0 ÷ 12 12 ÷ 0 Commented [MH2]: DOK 1

Explain your answer by using at least one complete sentence. You may use an example. Commented [MH3]: DOK 3
Commented [MH4]: DOK 3

20) Write −5 ∙ −5 ∙ −5 ∙ −5 ∙ −5 ∙ −5 ∙ −5 using an exponent. Commented [MH5]: DOK 1

21) Will (−3)21 be a positive or a negative number. Why is the answer positive/negative? Explain your answer Commented [MH6]: DOK 3
by using at least one complete sentence.
22) Use a good strategy to find the sum of these numbers.

Solve: −364 + 400 + (−315) + 364 + (−400) Commented [MH7]: DOK 2

Explain your strategy by using at least one complete sentence. Why did you use the strategy? Why is your Commented [MH8]: DOK 3
strategy good?

When can you use this strategy/skill in a real life? Give an example by using at least one complete sentence. Commented [MH9]: DOK 3

23) Use a good strategy to find the product of these numbers.

Solve: (364)(−400)(0)(−712)(5). Commented [MH10]: DOK 2

Explain your strategy by using at least one complete sentence. Why did you use the strategy? Why is your Commented [MH11]: DOK 3
strategy good?
