Adding the Product of (-13) and (-17) to the Quotient of (-187) and 11
This problem involves two basic arithmetic operations: multiplication and division. Let's break it down step-by-step:
1. Calculate the product of (-13) and (-17):
- The product of two negative numbers is a positive number.
- (-13) x (-17) = 221
2. Calculate the quotient of (-187) and 11:
- The quotient of a negative number and a positive number is a negative number.
- (-187) / 11 = -17
3. Add the results from steps 1 and 2:
- 221 + (-17) = 204
Therefore, the answer is 204.
