Let's solve the
Multiplying and Dividing Integers Practice worksheet step by step. I'll go through each problem, show the work, and provide the final answer.

Part 1: Multiply the integers
We use the rule:
- Positive × Positive = Positive
- Negative × Negative = Positive
- Positive × Negative = Negative
- Negative × Positive = Negative
---
1. $-5 \times 3 = -15$
2. $9 \times -2 = -18$
3. $-6 \times 4 = -24$
4. $-3 \times 7 = -21$
5. $-6 \times 8 = -48$
6. $-8 \times 1 = -8$
7. $-9 \times 5 = -45$
8. $-4 \times -2 = +8$ (negative × negative = positive)
9. $-11 \times 6 = -66$
10. $10 \times -8 = -80$
11. $-12 \times -4 = +48$ (negative × negative = positive)
12. $-10 \times 9 = -90$
13. $8 \times -5 = -40$
14. $-2 \times -7 = +14$
15. $5 \times -4 = -20$
16. $-12 \times -11 = +132$

Part 2: Divide the integers
Use the same sign rules as multiplication:
- Positive ÷ Positive = Positive
- Negative ÷ Negative = Positive
- Positive ÷ Negative = Negative
- Negative ÷ Positive = Negative
Also, remember: Division is the inverse of multiplication.

1. $30 \div -15 = -2$
2. $21 \div 7 = 3$
3. $-42 \div -6 = +7$ (negative ÷ negative = positive)
4. $48 \div -8 = -6$
5. $-24 \div 8 = -3$
6. $-25 \div 5 = -5$
7. $-63 \div -9 = +7$ (negative ÷ negative = positive)
8. $81 \div -9 = -9$
9. $-12 \div 2 = -6$
10. $90 \div -10 = -9$
11. $-132 \div -12 = +11$
12. $-56 \div -7 = +8$
13. $48 \div -12 = -4$
14. $-110 \div 10 = -11$
15. $-72 \div -8 = +9$
16. $120 \div -10 = -12$
