Let’s solve each problem one by one. We’ll go row by row, left to right.
Remember:
- When you multiply or divide two numbers with the
same sign (both positive or both negative), the answer is
positive.
- When you multiply or divide two numbers with
different signs, the answer is
negative.

Left Column:
1. 56 ÷ 7 = 8
→ Positive ÷ positive = positive
2. –8 × (–9) = 72
→ Negative × negative = positive → 8×9=72
3. –36 ÷ 6 = –6
→ Negative ÷ positive = negative → 36÷6=6 → so –6
4. –9 × 8 = –72
→ Negative × positive = negative → 9×8=72 → so –72
5. –9 × (–9) = 81
→ Negative × negative = positive → 9×9=81
6. –7 × (–8) = 56
→ Negative × negative = positive → 7×8=56
7. –54 ÷ (–9) = 6
→ Negative ÷ negative = positive → 54÷9=6
8. –9 × 6 = –54
→ Negative × positive = negative → 9×6=54 → so –54
9. –48 ÷ 6 = –8
→ Negative ÷ positive = negative → 48÷6=8 → so –8
10. –6 × (–7) = 42
→ Negative × negative = positive → 6×7=42
11. –63 ÷ (–9) = 7
→ Negative ÷ negative = positive → 63÷9=7
12. –64 ÷ (–8) = 8
→ Negative ÷ negative = positive → 64÷8=8
13. –42 ÷ (–6) = 7
→ Negative ÷ negative = positive → 42÷6=7

→ Positive × negative = negative
7. 5 ÷ 1 = 5
→ Positive ÷ positive = positive
8. –12 ÷ 4 = –3
→ Negative ÷ positive = negative → 12÷4=3 → so –3
9. 7 × (–7) = –49
→ Positive × negative = negative → 7×7=49 → so –49
10. 24 ÷ 3 = 8
→ Positive ÷ positive = positive
11. –48 ÷ (–8) = 6
→ Negative ÷ negative = positive → 48÷8=6
12. 5 × 4 = 20
→ Positive × positive = positive
