Quotients are used to represent the division of numbers
The number is -0.52
Let the number be represented with x.
So, the quotient of a number (x) and 0.2 is -2.6 is represented as:
[tex]\frac x{0.2} = -2.6[/tex]
Multiply both sides of the equation by 0.2
[tex]0.2 * \frac x{0.2} = -2.6 * 0.2[/tex]
Evaluate the quotient, on the left hand side
x = -2.6 * 0.2
Evaluate the product on the right hand side
x = -0.52
Hence, the number is -0.52
