The positive negative sign is a great way to understand this problem! Thanks! 👍

I got -8, because I wasn't careful enough to remember that negative ÷ negative = positive.

Another important rule, and probably the most important, is work carefully and slow down if you need to.

No calculator and no paper needed:
-8 / -1 = 8

Before watching the video, my answer is +8

Too easy. A minus 8 over a minus 1= 8.
